		<description><![CDATA[In this economy everybody is looking for two things, a deal, and a paycheck.  I was talking with a fellow photographer recently.  We were going over the ins and outs of the sales process and he said, &#8220;you know what makes the whole sales process really hard,&#8221; about fifty thoughts leapt to mind and after his pensive pause he said, &#8220;I put my prices on the web, and customers will call me having seen them and their first or second question is always, &#8216;can you do it for less?&#8221;  I know the feeling all too well.  Here&#8217;s the deal: I don&#8217;t have a problem with reducing services in return for lower prices, that makes sense, its reasonable.  Where I, and a lot of my fellow photographers have a problem, is the customer that wants ten to twelve hours of wedding coverage with two shooters, an engagement shoot, an album and]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it a Match? Finding YOUR photographer. 1. Your Friend, My Friend, We’re all Friends. Usually when you embark on planning a wedding you are new to the whole scene. You haven’t had the experience in planning, interviewing, and hiring people/companies for an event of this scope. Ask everyone you come in contact with for recommendations and referrals. And by everyone I mean everyone – friends, family, hairdressers, florists, caterers, DJ’s and Bands. Don’t be afraid to ask! Everyone you meet during the planning process can be a valuable resource to you! 2. Face Time. I say it over and over again; you have to like the photographer/s you hire! You are going to spend a lot of time with this person on your wedding day – often up close and personal. You may love the photographer’s work and have heard their praises sung from the highest mountains, but if]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jennie and I had the good fortune to meet with Kate Parker of Kate ParkerWeddings.  We had a great time going over the trials and tribulations of everything from wontons and bon bons to working your keister off in a faultering economy.  One thing I think she did for Jennie and me was to reaffirm the fact that hard work and a &#8216;chin up&#8217; attitude can almost certainly insulate you from failure.  Thanks Kate!  No pics this post, but have no fear, something more colorful to follow!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We at Strawberry Road had decided long ago to try to be as carbon neutral a company as possible.  In doing so, we had investigated the possibility of solar, geothermal, even hydrogen power to run our studios.  It wasn&#8217;t until Jennie took a backpacking excursion through europe that culminated with tobagganing in the alps that she realized we could use tiny elephants on treadmills to power the studios.  (She was taken by Hannibal&#8217;s story and well, way to think outside the box Jennie!)  Anyhow, the tiny elephants have worked out very well for us.  However, in true Jurassic park fashion, chaos theory has reared its ugly head and caused major issues for us here at Strawberry Road&#8230; In all seriousness, this is what we came up with for the ShootStyle photo assignment titled &#8220;the moment after.&#8221;  Nobody ever said we were normal&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The engagement guest book is an essential part of any photography session.  Electronic images are great for viewing on the computer, printed images are good for passing around, framing, etc.  But the guest book captures the story.  Click &#8216;more&#8217; to read on&#8230;   Jennie has mastered the art of custom templates.  Her work isn&#8217;t confined to a set of two or three templates that force a photographer or designer to make crucial decisions about cropping an image to &#8216;make it fit.&#8217;  If the page needs to be designed to tell a story or capture a moment, her eye and ability will allow her to do so in a way that is uniquely artistic and downright esthetically awesome.  Enough raving about my biz partner.  Check out this work she did for some very special clients&#8230;     Oh, and that image right up there, look at the blank part of the]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jennie met with Carla from Elements last Friday.  Carla told Jennie about a rather lavish production that she had designed for a formal dinner at Connecticut College.  They got to talking and Carla had said that whenever she puts one of these events together, she never gets a chance for pictures because time is so critical.  Jennie was previously engaged for the evening and she gave me the call, that is where the hilarity begins&#8230; click &#8216;more&#8217; to read on&#8230; You see, Carla does amazing work, most of which is highlighted by brilliantly illuminated fabric panels that are stretched from ceiling to floor.  When Jennie put me on the phone with her, Carla said she wasn&#8217;t sure if there would be time to shoot the flowers and other design elements without guests present.  I said to her, &#8216;no problem, I can be discreet.&#8217;  To which she replied, &#8216;that&#8217;s fine, but]]></description>

Customers showed a lot of interest and our display was well received.  What a great shot in the arm for us to have this opportunity. The New Caanan store is located in a quiant little hamlet, a real throw back to Main Street style shopping.  We highly recommend taking a swing through the area and if you need ANYTHING paper, check out Papyrus!]]></description>
