I am almost at the end of my fabulous week in Denver learning from some of the best photographers in the business (Laura Novak and Kimberly Wylie, as well as Carrie Sandoval and Brittany Woodall of Baby as Art ), and I am so very excited about coming home and implementing some of the things I’ve learned this week.  Not only are these women amazing artists, but they are also incredible business women who run their studios with the best of the best customer service and efficiency.  They have really given me something to aspire to.  One of the most important things I have been reminded of while I have been here is just how important it is to remember that what I am doing every day is creating art for the families with whom I work.   My biggest goal as a photographer has always been to create memories in a beautiful, artistic way for the families I photograph.  However, I often find that clients struggle with how to incorporate that art into their homes.  I am so excited to share some of the new things I’ve learned this week about how to help you incorporate these artistic memories into your home decor.

I know that I have mentioned earlier on the blog that we will be making a good number of changes to the way we do our business this year.  One of the major changes we have made so far this year is having our ALL of our clients come in for ordering consultations.  We found that our clients leave happier and get the products that they want in comparison with doing the ordering online.  We can help you narrow your decisions and really make the best selections for your home.  Another benefit is that you get to touch and feel all of the new products that we are offering (and will be offering!).  In the future, I would love to have the opportunity to meet with my clients prior to the session so that we can REALLY customize a session to your specific needs, as well as to your home decor!  :)

So, LOTS to think about and digest on the plane ride home tomorrow night!  I also wanted to remind everyone about the Matilda Jane show at the studio on Saturday at 10 (see post below).  If you need directions to the studio, shoot me an email (hswanner@charter.net).  We hope to see everyone there!  We’ll have snacks and mimosas there as well.

I just couldn’t post without a picture, so here a few for the night.  Until next time….
