Simply for Comfort March 24, 2007

We are excited about our new sales room.  We just ordered a new set of love seats for everyone to enjoy.  No longer will you sit at a table, but instead lounge as you view your images on our new  . . . . .  that announcement is still pending

 On a side note, I had a unique opportunity on Thursday.  Three clients requested lattes!!!  We have had our espresso machine for some time and it has severed hundreds of cups of coffee.  But, I made the first lattes for clients!  (I have had more than enough practice for myself.)

Staff Meeting March 17, 2007

It is hard working at Keepsake Portraits.  Today the staff had a meeting on a Saturday!  Sounds awful?!

 But what are you going to do with a little extra time left on your limo

 It was the 2008 senior model party.  Several seniors who are representing our studio in the area schools came for a party and a photo shoot today.  We treated them to a limo ride to check out some of our around town locations.

 Here is a quick image from our staff meeting.

OH Weddings Online hosted by Keepsake Portraits March 12, 2007

Keepsake Portraits is owned by Eric and Jessica Leszkowicz who also operate Leszkowicz Photography.  They were selected by Ohio Weddings Online as the featured photography studio to cover the wedding giveaway that is taking place at the Kalahari Resort.

 About a week ago, all the couples came to the studio for their engagement session.  We had an amazing time meeting the couples and capturing their engagement images.  It was tiring creating unique portraits for so many couples in such a short time, but it was a fun challenge.

 Our daughter, AnnaGrace, took charge of keeping everyone supplied with coffee from our espresso machine.

Final Call for Studio Models March 6, 2007

Renovations complete – almost March 5, 2007

When we took over the operations of Keepsake Portraits after Mike Osborne retired and turned over the studio to my wife Jessica and I, it needed our touch.  Just two months after taking over the studio, we began extensive renovations.

Although we only added a couple walls and trim, the bathroom and work areas changed the most.  Comments have been very positive.  Some have thought they were in the wrong building.

 Why the “almost”?  We are still furnishing the sales room.  Our plans are for a plush couch and a beautiful flat screen HDTV.  It will feel like home.

T-Shirt Designs March 5, 2007

T-Shirt designs will be announced and posted here on the blog.

Stay tuned . . .
