Artrageous Fridays & Rebecca Allen Photography

It's beginning to sink in now. I just received my launch party postcards yesterday and I'm soooo excited to distribute them and get the word out about Artrageous Fridays and my participation. However, this is my first time exhibiting my work at an arts event and I must admit I'm really nervous. In most situations, I'm usually the girl who stands back and quietly observes rather than the one who is vocal and seeks attention. This is a really big leap for me, putting myself and my work out there for public scrutiny. Don't get me wrong, although I admit to being nervous, I'm really quite excited and committed to making this event and my business a success. I hope that you will come and visit me at Artrageous Fridays on April 23rd. I look forward to meeting new people and making new friends!

I definitely want to write a bit more about my exhibit and the event soon. Right now, I'm headed out the door with a box full of postcards to hand out!

pricing thoughts

Since I'm just starting my business I have yet to find an album company that really compliments the style of photography I want to provide for my clients. I believe that my documentary approach to photographic storytelling is best viewed in an album format to bring all of the components of the day together, such as: details and scene setters, couple and group portraits and journalistic coverage of the preparation, ceremony and reception. 

Ideally, my base price would include service fees for my time and talent along with purchase of a signature product... hence, the album. But, until I find the perfect album, I will be substituting a DVD of the high-resolution images in it's place. Of course the high res DVD will always be available as an a-la-carte item to add to your package when I do switch to include an album as my signature product. I just wanted to explain a little so it might clear confusion if/when I change my prices.

And as for right now, I'm still finagling the prices as I learn to account for start up/overhead/cost, taxes and profit. When I have them set, I'll post them. 

It's likely this will be the way posts are (mostly text), until I officially launch this party! I'm looking forward to learning along this journey and will try to record it here. Thanks for reading...

Hey blog readers! 

This photographic journal is currently a work in progress and will come together over the next couple of months. I hope you check in periodically to see what I'm up to and how things have progressed. For now you'll just have to be happy with checking out this handsome lil' man below.
