Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out one of my surveys – your feedback is valuable and much appreciated! I can honestly say I wasn’t terribly surprised by the answers, but I’m glad to have the evidence to back up my new pricing and packages for 2010. Here are some of the results:
- most of you expect anywhere from 30 to 50 edited images per session
- the average number of prints you make from photo disks is 10 to 20
- a disk of the images is your #1 “must-have”
- not many of you were interested in print packages be they basic or premium (this was one of the two surprising responses for me)
- most of you want me to come up with location suggestions
- almost 3/4 of you were up for “non-traditional” shoots (that was the other big surprise)
All in all, it was very helpful. I have a bit more red tape to get through on my end with the State of Texas and Uncle Sam, but I will have official 2010 pricing for you very soon!
I don’t have any new photos to share, but perhaps some of you will get a kick out of this. Somehow my “big-boned” kitty was randomly selected for a slideshow on the Orlando Sentinel’s website – check out slides 15 & 38. Now, I did NOT submit her photos for this slideshow. Neither did anyone else. It appears as though they did a tag search on Flickr for “fat” and “cat” and made a little fluff (har!) piece out of the resulting photos. Obviously I don’t live in Florida, so I was none the wiser. Someone sent me the slideshow as a laugh, not realizing Ella was IN it. Oh, the shame. Ella can barely show her face around the food dish. I can only hope when I take her to the vet tomorrow for her annual shots that the scales give us some good news. Otherwise I’m looking at years of kitty therapy.
I titled this one from 2006 “I am not too fat for this box.” If only I’d used the word “rotund” or “husky” maybe she wouldn’t have been subjected to humiliation on the Orlando Sentinel…
