Hey hey how you doing?

May 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing just fine. I’m pretty good myself now that summer has finally decided to grace us with some sunshine. I am a photographer of light, and not having any makes me a bit grumpy. Here’s to having the sun around for as long as possible!

I just want to quickly address all the lovely people who have emailed me about wanting to assist me. I do read all your mails and store your details, but I know I haven’t been very good at replying to everyone. I currently have a permanent assistant/second shooter, but I will keep everyone’s details, as there will inevitably become times when she can’t make a certain date, or when I’ll need an assistant on a short notice. I currently get a lot of inquiries and my time is very limited, so I have to prioritise which emails I get back to quickly. Hence I thought it might be useful for me to post this on the blog in reply to some of you who were wondering why they haven’t heard back from me!

Hmm what else was I supposed to mention. Oh yes! I recently got interviewed for Don’t box us in!, a cool blog showcasing photographers. I’m really honoured to be in such good company, even though it was a total bi** trying to come up with sensible answer to all the complicated questions. :D You can read the whole interview here. Also, a little while back Kat from Rock ‘n Roll Bride featured Lucy & Richard’s wedding in her blog – always an honour. In related exciting news, Kat is taking part in a personal photography project of mine and we’re having a little photo shoot with her at the end of May. So that should be fun, I can’t wait to photograph her amazing hair!

Here’s my wedding availability calendar, updated as promised!

What’s happening on this side of the screen

April 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Hey, I hope you’re all fine!

I thought I’d post a bit of an update on what’s been happening behind the scenes. One of the biggest recent developments has been moving to a brand spanking new proofing system. All the still active proofing galleries have now been successfully migrated, and the relevant clients notified of the new access codes. Do have a good browse around and get back to me if you discover any bugs or other confusing things. Fingers crossed everything works as it should though. The new facility should make it a lot easier for you to view all your images and to purchase prints and products. One of my favourite things is an option to add images to favourites if you think you might want to come back and view, or order them, later on. You can also invite family and friends to view your images through automated emails, which I think is a pretty useful addition. There’s also a facility for creating a registry, in case you wanted guests to buy you print credits instead of toasters. I still have to iron out the kinks in that process though, but do let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in. But yes, I’m pretty pleased with the look and functionality of the new proofing site and I hope you will find it convenient and easy to use!

Another thing I have to address is booking availability. I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries for the same dates recently, and I hate the feeling of disappointing someone. I don’t generally share information on what stage my other inquiries are at, as I think that makes it really awkward for everyone involved, plus it makes me feel a bit like an used car salesman! I always try to make it clear that my policy is ‘first come, first served’, in this case meaning the first client that returns the signed contract and retainer, gets the date.

In an attempt to avoid disappointment later on, I’ve put together a little ‘calendar’ of my availability for weddings. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible in the future.

2009
April – Fully booked
May – Limited availability
June – Fully booked
July – Fully booked
August – Limited availability
September – Limited availability
October – Available
November – Available

2010

And since I can’t very well post an entry without a picture, here’s proof that summer is finally on it’s way!
