The Studio Bulletin is BACK! Here is the latest Studio Bulletin featuring Elaine Sheppard’s visit…
The Sunday Portrait course is full, and there are just two places left on the Wedding course. These courses take place on one Sunday a month from July until November, finishing with a Saturday and Sunday in early December. This would get you ready to take wedding bookings for 2012.
The last week has been incredibly busy hence the lack of recent posts. We launched our fourth website www.portraitleads.co.uk which enables photographers who require portrait leads or portrait bookings to find out what areas we have available.
On Friday 17th and Saturday 18th June we had two course training days and on Monday 20th June, twenty of our members attended a presentation given by our latest business partner. This was followed by a presentation from two members who have recently had major successes, including a corporate partnership with a Mercedes dealership.
Corporate partnerships play a large part in keeping portrait studios busy. For instance, we have just received this email from one of our ex-students who has recently opened a studio;
“I’ve got a pretty full diary this Saturday (4 family shoots and a viewing, next Saturday 2nd July; 4 babies and a family but might try to squeeze another family in!) Sunday 10th (2 families at the moment). I am busy on the 9th as well with a couple of sittings so far but I’ll also be dashing backward and forward from a school fayre around the corner where I’ve got an exhibition stand.”
This studio has only been open for 3 months!
