FOR SALE: 85mm f/1.8 lens

melhatcher — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 20:14:40 +0000

I’m happy to say, I just recently upgraded my favorite lens. I shoot about 95% of my stuff with my 85mm f /1.8 lens, but now I’ve upgraded to the f/1.4. I’m no longer in need of my f/1.8, so if anyone is interested it is for sale! I’m asking $375 for it. It is in excellent condition and comes with a UV filter. If you want to take your photography to a whole new level you should definitely consider this lens. It is an AWESOME lens!

For those of you that have asked. Here are some before (straight out of the camera) shots, compared with the after shots of my work. Some are more extreme than others, but it gives you an idea of what I can work with and how much I edit my images.

Follow Your Art Workshop

melhatcher — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 20:18:05 +0000

I’m in the beautiful Park City, Utah for the weekend at the Follow Your Art Workshop. I’ve been waiting for the right time to come to one of Tiffany’s workshops for a while now, and I’m so excited to finally be here. Tiffany is an amazing photographer that can capture light like nobody I’ve ever seen. She inspires me with what she can capture. I will post more about the events of the weekend in a later post, but right now, I want to post a few images from this morning’s session. To say I have a TON more images would be an understatement. I’m loving the light up here.

ONE more week until the Senior Rep Search Contest deadline. By July 1st, all entries should be emailed to me. Iwill be moving the new Rep announcement up to July 5th, instead of July 15th. It was my impatients that got the better of me.

I talked about the contest and about what a Rep was here in a previous post. I need people that are willing to go the extra mile in representing and promoting my business for me. The benefits are great for both parties. Here is one way my Reps will doing some promoting.

Rep Cards!!!! They’re a super fun way to show off your images and also promote my business. It’s a win, win!

Douglas County Divas April Networking Event

melhatcher — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 07:33:08 +0000

Wow! It’s good to be a DIVA!

I attended my second Douglas County Divas event tonight, and it was fantastic! Since last month’s meeting I have had the pleasure of sitting down with two of the three Diva creators, Pam and Theresa. I will say this….these ladies are the real deal! They are so genuine and nice, so easy to talk to….you’ve got to meet them! I finally got to meet Heidi tonight as well, and she’s just as great! Those three make a great team!

This month’s event started out at the super chic, new store, Chrysalis, located in the fabulous new Streets at Southglenn. It was here that we all gathered to chat, shop and register for the fantastic door prize giveaways! After a little while we all headed over (walked a few steps) to Bar Louie for the rest of the evening. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing these events are for networking. You have the chance to meet and talk to so many great women about what it is they do and how you can each be a part of helping each other out in the business world. I have only been to two of these events and I have made such great contacts and received so much good feedback from my business….it’s so fun! I can’t say it enough! Come to the next event and just see for yourself.

What was really cool about this month’s event as well, was that I was able to bring my camera along and take some pics. I created a slideshow of some of the images, so if you want to take a look…..click here!

I need your two cents. Really, I do!

I’m thinking of doing an ad in a local magazine, and I’m trying to decide what to list as my “special offer.”

That’s where you come in. Which of the following is the most appealing offer to you?

25% off the session fee
a free 11 X 14 when you book
a free accordian book when you book

Or, if you have a better idea, let me know that too. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Thanks.
