A New Way to PUG!

The Baltimore, MD based PUG (Pictage User Group) did things a little different this month.  We ventured out to Wendy Hickok Photography for our studio spotlight.  It was a great sucess.  Wendy shared how she handles the client experience during the initial meeting.  She has a fabulous set up in her home that converts to client space when necessary.  She is, indeed, the Hostess with the Mostest by offering yummy food, drink, and conversation before they even discuss the wedding details.  Later, she casually brings them into another room that displays her work and albums.  She had some great tips for organizing each client she books and unique marketing materials throughout the process of the client relationship.

Thanks you, Wendy, for opening up your space to us very inquisitive photographers.

Our next studio spotlight tour is with Michael Clark Photography in Baltimore, MD on March 3, at 7pm - whenever.  Come meet Micheal and the rest of the PUG crew.  We love new faces.  We'll post additional information closer to the date.

Jahi Spreads the Love

Jahi Chikwendiu, Washington Post photojournalist extraordinaire, was our guest speaker for our second Photo Nights for Charity series. To say the least he was fabulous, sincere, kind, talented, inspirational, and humble.  Thank you, Jahi.  Thank you to our attendees for supporting our charity organization, Advocates for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (ASTT).  We raised over $600 for them.  For more information on how you can help, please contact Essence Pierce.  More images and information from our event are posted on the Photo Nights for Charity blog.
