Blurbs from the life of a wedding photographer

Connecting with people and networking is so important. Every day there are opportunities that people pass by because they didn’t know they exist or didn’t know the right person at the right time. While taking Brian Lucier’s web design class at MassArt I saw an opportunity present itself to connect with my fellow classmates and further my business at the same time.

Halfway through the Summer term we all presented out design concepts in front of the class. We critiqued each others work and Brian showed us how to structure our pages. A recurring comment people got was “I want to see your face on the site!” or “Where is your headshot?”. *ding!*

I always arrive to early anyhow so I thought I could use that time more productively: offer inexpensive headshots to my fellow classmates.

Right away I got some responses to this (which I shot today) from Mark, a graphic designer, and Beth, who designs custom (and very awesome) stationary for all kinds of occasions.

Not only did I get to meet two cool classmates and see a little bit about what they do, but it opened new resources: custom wedding invitations and thank yous, and maybe some new graphics for my web page and business cards.
