Up to this point

I will eventually tell more stories about weddings and lessons learned from them however, I have decided to make this a weekly blog...at least....A place where I discuss the happenings of our little upstart photography business.....the picture you see above is actually our new Facebook Fan page picture. It looks better there as it has our slogan on it and all that cool jazz....we actually got this pic from a recent couple shoot here in Virginia Beach. You can see some of the pics from that shoot on our web site www.promisephotography757.com and our fan page as well. Lately we have been going to meetings trying to book weddings and doing couple shoots....we recently did a "Trash the Dress" shoot on a local beach that really seemed to create a buzz about our work...well from there we were able to book a "Senior Portrait" style shoot and the couple shoot that gave us the pic above...and we were able to get a verbal agreement to do a "private" shoot for a young lady wishing to send some "tasteful yet erotic" shots ( lingerie ) to her boyfriend who is away right now....needless to say that beach shoot went REALLY well for us on a promotional level...the couple shoot gave us not only the pic above but was a deciding factor in booking two weddings this week and gaining a lead on a third.

Our kids love to dance..and are a part of a local dance crew ( YFAMD ) so we end up getting pics and video whenever we go to a show or event they do....well we post those pics for all to have ...and I must say we are all over Facebook now LOL...why is that important...we were asked to do some promotional shots for a local nightclub... that isn't exactly something we are trying to make a part of our regular shot list but every opportunity is presented to us for a reason sooo.... our next move here is to get the proper flash for the dark environment and hopefully take some killer shots that don't normally lend themselves to that style of photography, ill post some when we do the shoot....will be a while ....like I said we need to add equipment first and we actually have quite a few events pouring in for us...we have 1 of those two booked weddings this coming weekend a couple shoot on the beach the following weekend...and a couple shoot for the people who booked us to do their wedding (wedding number 2 that is) and then we have to do wedding number 2....none of this includes our kids events ...the work we like to do for free...with churches and people who simply cant afford photographers...non profits...things like that.....oh and we are doing another couple photo shoot for the people who provided us with the above pic..... you would think this was our full time job at this point LOL

I will most likely post again this week...its a bit more fun than I thought :-) but if not I will be posting again next week ...hopefully with some killer shots fo the wedding we are doing in yorktown....thanks for reading!
