Hi There!

Hi There!

Here’s a smart photographer who got on her local news with a “new spin” on portrait photography (unposed portraits).  Is this a new idea?  No.  Was she SMART to spin it that way AND get free publicity on her local news?  YES!  Now she can say that she was featured on the news, have a clip of the segment on her blog and website, and I’m sure she also received more business when people saw the show!  There isn’t any reason you can’t do this, too.  Think of a way to spin what you do into a “newsworthy” segment and get your own free publicity!  Check out the video below (the photographer has some really great shots!), and be sure to stop by www.shuttermomuniversity.com for more photography business coaching.

Thought this was an interesting video discussing portraits and online dating.  Erin Manning gives tips to improve your online portraits.  I like the before and afters!

I think this is a group that really NEEDS professional portraits…are you marketing to online daters?  This is also a great angle for some publicity for YOUR photo studio (get on the news talking about better online portraits!)
