Lemonade and Lenses is super excited to be giving away a copy of Design Aglow’s Photographer’s Marketing and PR Guide & Calendar.  I absolutely LOVED reading through this guide, especially with senior season approaching.  My absolute favorite part of the guide is it’s calendar.  I have a HARD time keeping up with little tasks such as blogging, sending thank you cards out and little marketing tasks.  Normally it all comes down to one day and I am rushing to get them all done.  But this calendar gives you one task a day to do and it makes those little things so much easier and not as stressful.  Full details on the guide can be read below.

Our contest will run from Today (February 6th) through next Wednesday (February 13th)  11pm EST.  To enter all you have to do is post below why you think this marketing guide would help you in 2013!! Please make sure you include your name and e-mail address.  A winner will be randomly drawn next Thursday and the winner will then be contacted.  Please make sure you visit Design Aglow’s facebook page and website as well to see all the fun products they have to offer.   They have everything from templates to marketing guides to business forms.  I personally have a collection of templates and guides from them that I use for my business.  Good luck!!

* Please know comments have to approved before they appear so if you don’t see your comment right away that’s okay.  I will be out of town from the 7th through the 10th so all comments posted during that time will be approved when I return on the 11th.

How many of us are completely guilty of not displaying our own images? I know I am. As photographers we KNOW the power and importance of hanging images where they will be seen. We tell our clients this all the time, right?
We are pretty lucky to be able to review some of the most beautiful products out there for us photographers and for our clients, like these gorgeously shaped frames from urban lane frames. This review totally reminded me to DISPLAY MY OWN FAMILIES PHOTOS…and have some fun while you’re doing it. Think outside the normal groupings or add some whimsey to a special image. I hope this reminds you too and even better with such beautifully handmade, lightly distressed curvy vintage frames from urban frames. They are solid wood, sturdy and well made. You can check out all the shapes and colors available on their website, and turn around time is only 2-3 weeks max. ~gina
