Business Talk | my life

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Love makes a lot of things possible. Still, getting married is probably one of the most important decisions a woman can ever make in her life.

This past weekend I got to go on a getaway with the LOVE of my life, my husband! We got to get away without kids. We went to Soaring Eagle Casino. Hey I know it isn’t much, but my husband LOVES to gamble and I just go to get away and play the slots a bit! It is just a getaway that is very relaxing to say the least. I was social network free and it felt good. Don’t get me wrong….I missed it, but realized I can live without it. I had the opportunity to think over many business decisions that I have made in the past year or so. I want to thank all of my wonderful clients for giving me the opportunity to photograph their special day and special loved ones! It means alot to me that YOU gave me a chance. A chance I might not have gotten. I want so much for my business adventure to grow and grow fast, but in reality I know that it takes time. I LOVE photographing all aspects of life. I want to photograph the complete circle…Engagement, Wedding, Maternity, Newborn, Child, Senior, Family, and back to Weddings:) I know eventually I might decide that one might be a bigger priority, but for now I am realizing that I LOVE shooting people! I LOVE LOVE! I recently got the chance to listen to three well known wedding photographers speak and man I want a business like theirs! They are very successful in what they do and their work is so incredibly amazing. They took chances and it took time and commitment to make it happen! So I am asking YOU if you would like to be photographed, whether it is your family, newborn, maternity, child, senior, or even a wedding that YOU choose Nancy Mitchell Photography! I am trying to grow my business and would LOVE some more bookings! Remember I do have a referral program this year and it is $100 print credit for each referral you send to me! I would LOVE to shoot some more weddings this year too. This year has been great so far, but I want to ROCK it out the rest of the year! Please HELP ME in doing so by sending me some clients or becoming a client yourself! I really appreciate each one of YOU and I look forward to working with you! Here are some 2011 Open Wedding Dates if they don’t get filled, I will be opening them up for portrait sessions! If you are interested in any of these dates or know someone who would be interested email me (nancymitchellphotography@yahoo.com) or call me!

The Moores Family | family

Monday, September 13th, 2010

What a very small world do we live in? I had the privilege to photograph the Moores Family. When I arrived at The Church on Strayer (they attend this church) and meet the family, Sonia’s husband says I know you…what? you do? from where? elementary school? huh? really? no way? I had NO recollection of who he was…OK so then it started to come to me a little bit. He knew my sister more than me. So of course, I had to call my sister right away after the shoot, and YUP she knew exactly who he was. Well, we had a great shoot and Elijah was my cutest kid contest winner. He did exceptionally well. I love kids, especially ones that cooperate with me! I look forward to photographing this family again soon for Christmas! I can’t wait:)
