Recent business activities

The past months have been busy. The latter part of May and all of June saw me doing the photography for the Smithers Minor League Soccer and Softball leagues. Doing the photography was the easy part. The time consuming part was processing the orders and making sure every child/family got their orders in good standing. There's only a handful of families that haven't come by to pick up their photos, but I imagine that's due to family vacations and the busy-ness of summer.

I've also written and delivered several proposals for new photography ventures:

1. Newborn photography at the hospital here in Smithers
2. Minor league hockey for both Smithers and Houston
3. Photography for two local schools

I've done some family portraits and a few people have come by for passport photography. At the beginning of June I did a one-day session for my church to get some more families for our photo directory which I produced last year.

Lately I've been working with the Smithers Recreation Department to help provide some alternatives for kids during the summer. I lead one workshop this past Monday and then just yesterday I photographed the same kids I taught on Monday. They had some time where they dressed up and did some charades. So the Rec Dept. thought it would be a good idea to photograph them so the kids could have a record of some of the things they did this summer.

I'm currently scheduled to do a few more events like this between now and the end of August, so it's a good opportunity to make some more contacts.
