The last couple of weeks have been very exciting with three major developments all coming together at the same time.
Firstly, fellow photographer and friend, Graeme Shiplee, is joining me as a partner in forming a new company to concentrate on the baby and portrait market.
Graeme is an experienced landscape photographer and has assisted me on several photo shoots. He has a long and varied career in sales and marketing in the photographic sector so will be well placed in that part of the business.
Secondly, we have been offered studio space for the company by a local florists that we have worked with at wedding fairs, etc. They have just moved to much larger premises and have offered us the first floor suit to use. We hope that this will be up and running in late September and will kick off with some enticing offers to attract new customers.
Thirdly, A local hair and beauty chain has asked us if we would like to work with them to offer complete makeover sessions followed by a studio photo shoot. This should be up and running about the same time as the new studio s, this will be a busy time to kick off the new venture.
Full details will be announced once the details are finalised.
