Bummer!!
I was hoping to get the “flyers” on my free photography sessions posted at the libraries and community centres. I just found out that they don’t allow commercial business advertising even though I’m not charging a cent. Grrrr!! I’m really at my wits on trying to get the word around on my site. I can’t spend any money on real advertising yet.
Today I was at Brentwood Mall and saw so many parents with their kids. Inside I was thinking, “Oh just let me photograph your kids.” I’ve given out cards to several moms at McDonald’s and elsewhere but I haven’t gotten any queries. All the kids that I have photographed so far, I went up to their moms and asked. I’m really thankful to each of them who had said yes. Do you find it patronizing if someone approach you with a card? I usually just say have a look at the pictures in my website and if you like my style, contact me. Is that considered patronizing? You know, in most photographers’ blogs, no one will write about the diificulties they are running into. Maybe I shouldn’t mention this in here but I’m writing about it.
I’m still post-processing the last batch of pics of J & A. My right arm is hurting because I’ve been moving my mouse with my arm in a particular position for too long. I really want to finish them by this week and send the CD off to their mom. Wish me luck.
