It's been long overdue that I sit to write my first blog. I planned to publish by the end of December and now it is the end of January! Let me tell you what kept us so busy in 2007.
Our major project for 2007 was a complete re-design of the studio. Wow, it took almost the whole year but I am happy to say it is complete. What a wonderful place to work and greet clients. Simple, sleek, contemporary and soooo clean! I want to thank Martin and Dad, the contracting team that worked so hard and put up with my ever-changing mind. And, Richard Toland of SagePoint, Inc. for wiring the sound.
Our second major project was to re-design our website. With just a few more final touches (one of which includes this blog) we are complete and pleased with the results. The gallery pages will be updated frequently and coming soon is a video of me in the studio. Please take a look http://www.ashleystudios.com
Ashley Studios has taken on a whole new look in general. In addition to our busy photography studio, we expanded the graphic art department and are pleased to now offer web-site design. This month alone we have signed two clients and are excited about what the new year will bring.
What a fantastic year 2007 was. We had the privilege to photograph beautiful weddings, making lasting friendships with our brides and grooms. We shot children, pets, models, families and even hand-painted eggs in the studio and enjoyed the visitors who just stopped by to say hello. Our photographic projects included: luxury properties for Houlihan Lawrence Real Estate and Christie's Great Estates, lush gardens for The Silent Gardener, pet fashion for Bully Ware, intricate custom umbrellas for Phillisols by Geri, to mention a few. And, our graphic art department was busy designing brochures, ads, printing and making dozens of clients very happy! We also were honored to make the Platinum list of exclusive photographers for Grace Ormnode's Wedding Style Magazine.
I want to thank my staff of wonderful people, who I rely on to make it all work. Neal Martin, my lighting assistant who's background and degree in graphic art/website design has enabled us to take on this new department. Kristin Wolinsky and Juliann Guiffre for their hard work assisting in all aspects of shooting a wedding.
My goal will be to post monthly, so come back to see what's going on!
Goodbye for Now,
Janet
