Hello World!
I’m writing a little post just to say Hi and let everyone what has been up lately at Steve Z Photography. Don’t let my lack of blogging fool ya, I haven’t been slacking! Since my holiday trip to Mexico I’ve been a busy boy working on a lot of preparations which will make 2010 the biggest and best year yet!
The biggest news is that Ron, Corey, and I have left our downtown Boulder location and moved up to Northeast Boulder. We have a new space in all to ourselves and it is conveniently located near my home. The new space is truly a Studio, and not just an office. There is a presentation/viewing room for meeting with clients, showing artwork on the walls, and showing clients their images on the HD projection screen. In the back there is a spacious office for production work which I’m affectionately called The Darkroom. The Studio is a room with a lofted ceiling where I can shoot with either natural or studio lighting. Finally, there is a middle room that will be a changing/storage room. This is all very exciting, and I’m working hard on getting the never ending decorating and technical outfitting complete. The building has an upscale feel to it, and we are sharing it with doctors, architects, and real estate professionals. The common area has great large walls that are in need of some fresh artwork, so I will be working on some large pieces to display in the common areas.
Other than the studio improvement, I’ve been working on other business infrastructure during the so called ‘off season’. Last month we updated the images on the wedding and portrait portfolio sites, so if you haven’t been in a while check those out again. The wintertime is wedding booking season, and I’m currently sitting at about 75% of my target wedding goal for 2010. I attended the Imaging USA/DWF Convention in Nashville in January, and tomorrow I leave for Las Vegas for the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) Convention. By attending these conventions I keep on top of the latest technical and inspirational information available in the industry. I come back from these events so inspired to continually improve my images, by business, and my client experience. And finally . . . there is another project. I’m not sure how long it will take me to actually launch, but it will be a completely new brand and genre of photography! I can’t tell you any more or I’ll have to kill you. I’ve never killed anyone before, so I’m just going to be safe and not tell you what it is yet.
So stay tuned for the Fantabulous Studio Grand Opening Party Extravaganza coming soon! I’m hoping to have a large part of the organization here handled by mid-April. Oh, and last weekend I already shot my first wedding of the year, so look for a post on that tomorrow!
Cheers,
Steve Z
