If you missed the October meeting, you missed the opportunity to get a whole bunch of good ideas on pricing and presenting your wedding images (the ideas also apply to portrait markets). After John Wurzell's presentation, I think everyone left with at least one good idea they could incorporate in their current business to increase their average sales.

This month is the annual November Print Competition. Click here to see the new categories and rules for this annual event. There are new categories, reduced entry prices and three SUPER local judges: Doug Boylan, Richard Newell and Greg Wurtzler.

You will notice that some of the background colors on various pages have been changed. This was a suggestion from members who felt colors other than black would be more readable. Please let me know what you think of the new look. Is it better? Or would you prefer black backgrounds? Or some other specific color?

The "Members Page" has been updated to provide the opportunity for you to include an image with your studio name. This is where the public goes when they click on the "Find a Photographer" link from our Home Page. Also, you may now place four of your images in a "mini-gallery" linked to your studio name.This feature has been added for several studios. Go check them out. If you wish to add your image(s) to your listing, size your images to no
larger than 4x5 at 72 dpi .jpg's and attach them to an e-mail to me. Be sure to identify which image you wish placed on the listing page.
