Business Portrait Special

I always like to try something new. This spring I am trying to modernize the look of "head shots" used by many business people and artists. Our business climate has become so much more visual then ever before with the popularity of social media. One might consider this "personal branding" Most of us would never have a logo created that looked just like our competitor, so why then should your business image look like everyone else. And why do some people hold on to the same image longer than they do to their automobile?

It is time to freshen up.

No longer should your corporate headshots resemble a yearbook photo. In the commercial climate of extreme competition, having a unique and creative headshot is essential. The client is looking for a trustworthy, approachable and professional individual. Your photograph will give an immediate impression of you.

So for the month of April I will be offering my Expanded Business Portrait Sessions at 50% off. For more information call Lancaster Photography at 231-929-2619.

Graduation Announcements - Open House Invitations

This is a good time to start planning for your graduation announcements. All of our cards are custom designed, many with multiple images, and color matching graphic elements. There are a variety of types and sizes available as well as paper surfaces.

Unlike the limitations you find at the department store photo centers, who cannot reproduce your senior portraits, we offer our clients senior portraits on the front, back and inside of announcements. Our announcements are often combined to be used as your open house invitations or add to and sent with traditional graduation cards. The best part is they don't look like and often cost less then the ones sold at your school.

Call us to find out more information. Lancaster Photography 231-929-2619.

Run for Shelter Traverse City

Being an avid runner, I have had the privilege to be co-race directer or the Goodwill Run for Shelter 5K run-3K walk on Saturday, April 16 , 2011. This will be the event third year. All proceeds go to the Goodwill Inn Homeless Shelter here in Traverse City.

The loop course begins and ends at Willow Hill Elementary School. It traces through historic "Slab Town" with a series of hills on Randolph Street, a crossing through Hickory Meadows (formerly Olson's Field), and a beautiful stretch along West Grand Traverse Bay.

The race begins at 9am. This year children under the age of 10 can participate ate no charge. Hope to see you all out there.

Your Image Counts Now More Then Ever

Not that long ago , business people only used portraits, or "head shots" mainly for business cards, yellow page ads and announcements in the newspaper. Today's social marketing has everyone's face plastered about. Is your face on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn along with your website and maybe your blog? If so, what does your image say about you?

If you are using Facebook as a marketing tool, a photo you tailgating at The UofM game might not be appropriate. Things like eye glasses, lapels on suits and tie widths, as well as hair styles can date a head shot. Today's business casual style can help you break the mold so you don't look like everybody else.

At Lancaster Photography, we can help update and modernize your look, get noticed by standing out from the crowd.
