I now have a better system for keeping client information and signed releases up to date - and it only requires you to fill out one form ONCE! Once your form is complete, subsequent visits only require you to verify that the information is correct and then you sign and date the verification sheet.

Less paper waste, less for you to fill out!

I’m in the process of indexing all of my recent clients to the new Client Information Center!

Click here to get there.

This portion of the website allows for password protected information pertinent to my clients and their sessions.

Included for every client is their scheduled session date and time, any balances due, directions to the studio, required forms to read over, online gallery access information, along with the current portrait guide and pricing booklets!

All conveniently one one page - including a handy link to easily bookmark your page for future reference.

Hi everyone!  I will be sending this information out in the next newsletter, too, but I’ve gotten rid of my “info” email address because of all the awful SPAM I get.

To remedy it, I have a new email address.  Please update your address books - replace “info” with “michelle”.  As always, the most reliable way to send me email is via the form on my site at www.michellemisner.com/contact.html.

Sorry for typing in code, but I have to keep incognito from the search bots that usually extract email addresses via text in searches and then send too much garbage to everyone.

If you have any questions, concerns or think I may not have gotten your last message, just use the instructions above to contact me again!

If you follow me, I’ll follow you!  Looks like fun!  http://twitter.com/fotawg

Since I’m HORRIBLE at keeping the blog maintained, this is now my HTML site AND blog.  The flash site will remain enabled for all of those who like the pretty music and the smooth fades.  The HTML site will be for those who are anti-flash, have a slower connection, or just prefer the simpler things in life.

Things have been busy and as I get moments to add things, I will get this updated with some recent sessions!

No newsletter in April…I hope to get one out for May!

I’m positive that most people think that professional photography is just too expensive.  It IS a luxury in life to custom portraiture displayed in your home.

This is an article written by a photographer, explaining why private portrait studios are not like the retail chain studios.

In the end, it’s not about the paper the photograph is printed on…it’s what goes into that portrait that you’re paying for!

Why Are Professional Photographers So Expensive?
