I recently saw London photographer Serena Bolton blogging about one of our 14x10H overlay matted albums, so I asked her if we could share it here as well. It's nice to see portrait images in our albums. We're so used to seeing weddings! Serena says, "My client landed on my website late one night by mistake! The mum had been doing some research into interior designers and I had just done a shoot with designer, Samantha Todhunter. "Samantha's website lead to a discovery of my website! She wasn't really looking for a photographer but was captivated by my family portraits. She had always really To View More >>

Why are some photographers more successful than others? In part it's their level of confidence. Or anxiety. Picture the anxious photographer preparing for a pre-wedding consult.

Twitter: Millions hang out there, there are ways to get their attention – but it belongs to someone else. Facebook: Same thing with bells on. Millions and millions of people. Awesome networking and sharing tools. But you're not in charge, it doesn't look like you're in charge, and Mr Zuckerburg gets the Google Juice not you.
