Happy Busy

Today I'm finishing up a busy weekend with three photo sessions at three different parks: Freedom Park in the Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte, Colonel Francis Beatty Park in Matthews, and Cullman Park in Ballantyne (South Charlotte).

I have noticed a new trend for me: more people are requesting a park location rather than their home. Parks often offer a more of a carefree, picturesque setting, so I'm happy to meet the families at the park of their choice.

I am also on the verge of opening a new e-commerce store through a third party solution that specifically supports photographers. Customers are not obliged to buy prints through my store (they still get the CD of images for their own use). However, some customers have requested a more convenient way to purchase high-quality images (complete with color correction) or an easier way to share prints with out-of-town relatives. I chose the provider based on ease-of-use for customers, so I hope they find it helpful.

Finally, in addition to editing my customers' pictures from the weekend sessions, I'm creating a slide show for a customer that wants to have a presentation at a surprise birthday part at the end of the month.

I happily live and breathe pictures, pictures, pictures!
