Goodbye 2008…

When I started out with Crimson Chickadee Photography I had ideals that I knew I would always put at the forefront of my business. One of those was NOT to be the “friend of a friend” who has a fancy camera and tinkers with pictures. I wanted to give Wainwright and surrounding areas something new and different. Custom photography that was fresh, modern and fun. 2009 marks my third year as a company and I have spent the last couple of months deciding on a business plan that would take me above and beyond 2008. I am going to implement a lot of changes, some of them are for personal reasons and some are because I am listening to what you want. I want all of my clients (past and future) to feel like they are getting a totally unique and personal experience. The last few months have exceeded my expectations and I have been blessed with more clients than I anticipated. Like anything when you get busy something suffers and to avoid falling into the trap of being so busy my family life  and/or my end product  deteriorates I am putting forth the following…to fix a problem before it affects myself and you, my valued clients. So for 2009 my goal is to give you higher quality products and images in a shorter amount of time, along with these  changes I am putting in place…

You will now be able to purchase your high resolution digital negatives on CD.  You will still be able to order your prints through me but I want to focus on more custom items.  I will be announcing all of the new and exciting products SOON.

  I will still focus primarily on available and natural light but I will be introducing studio lighting a little later in the year.

  I am also setting things up so you will be able to use a gift registry along with the gift certificate program I already have.  That means all you brides will be able to direct your family and friends to the site as well maternity/newborn clients.  What a fun thing to present a new mom at a baby shower…a totally unique gift that will be cherished for years to come!

You will also be able to use credit cards to pay for your purchases.

Some of these changes you will see right away and other will take me awhile to get up and running.  There are others things I have in the works but until they are finalized I am going to keep them under my hat.  To finish off the year make sure you watch a year in review…a slideshow of some of my favourites from 2008.  Oh and check back tomorrow…I will be posting a new contest!!! Have a happy and safe New Year!
