Newsletter, May, 2009

Here, for your dining and dancing pleasure, is the Richard Soukup Photography newsletter dated May 26, 2009!

As always, we welcome your input and comments!!! Just in case you were wondering, I will never rent, sell or spam your email address. I will only use it to send you useful information about our company! And at any time you can remove your name from the list.

Lots of news with the class of 2009! Graduation is just around the corner, and we want to thank all the seniors and their families who trusted and honored us with capturing great images for the second most important images ever taken of an individual (we assume weddings being the first)! To Heidi, Lexy, Shannon, Shiann, Nate, Dan, and Emily, we wish the best for you in the future and congratulations on reaching an important milestone!!

Two of our Senior Spokesmodels for the Class of 2010 have been named. Gabrielle from Clearfield Area High School and Dante from DuBois Central High School will be featured on our web site and various other places in order to show off what we can do with great senior images. Gabrielle has already had her first session with us and those images are online now at www.richardsoukupphotography.com. . Dante will have a first set of images created soon! In addition, we have Haley on board with us...while she is only a junior at DCC this coming year, we are working with her to show some of the different sides of what we can do. Look for her images at our web site as well!!! We plan on adding one to two more spokesmodels shortly!

Our senior pricing is always available if you request it by email at rtsphoto@verizon.net. Share it, copy it, refer to it!! If you use the promo code "2010" when booking us, you get two sheets of wallets at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!! And who can't use wallet prints?

IT'S WEDDING TIME THIS WEEKEND! Jessica and Jim will be tying the knot in Clearfield this Saturday. We are honored to be their photographer and judging by the lineup of professionals they have assembled, we are looking at a great time! We will be posting images from their wedding overnight in their gallery and some will make it onto the web site as well! Their gallery is already created on line but nothing is in it as of yet! That will be taken care of Saturday night into Sunday morning! When guests at the wedding give us their email addresses at the reception, we will email them when images are up and ready to view!!!! We will also have cards printed up with the gallery location and password for Jessica and Jim's guests! Their guests can also order images from the event online!!! Just one of the ways we make working with us easy!!!!
We will be doing the digital photography classes again at the Clearfield County Career and Technology Center this September. Added to the list is an advanced Digital Photography class for those with a DSLR camera. Details will be announced by the school in August for the fall term!! I can't divulge the dates and times because they have not been totally set as of this time, and the school only takes reservations and fills classes after they are announced to the general public. Watch the Clearfield Progress for the ad from the center. Be aware that the beginner class sold out very quickly in March of this year, and from the feedback I'm hearing and the questions I've been getting, I am assuming the same will happen this time around as well!
Richard Soukup Photography is also partnering with fetcho.com! We will have a presence on their web site and we are also working on being able to do a forum where your digital camera/photography questions can be answered on line in an open forum! Fetcho.com is a new portal web site that will have specific sites for different areas of the region! In addition to classifieds, links to entertainment venues, weather links, and other information, it is laid out in a nice neat format, unlike a lot of portal sites that resemble a hodgepodge! It's a great site to make a home page for your browser! The Clearfield site is at www.fetchoclearfieldpa.info. Other ares that have specific sites include Centre County, Jefferson County, Elk and Clinton Counties to name a few! We'll have more news on our partnership with Fetcho as time goes on!!
WE HAVE A HUGE PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK AND MY SPACE..and are doing more on Facebook each day! In addition to being on personally, I have set up a group for Clients of Richard Soukup Photography, and also have a separate business page on Facebook! If you are on Facebook, please consider adding us to your circle of friends and be a fan of the Richard Soukup Photography page. We will have specific offers that will only be for our FB customers!!!!

I am also in the middle of a great project on Facebook! It is called The Photography Throwdown and it is a group on FB that I contribute to! The story is that the three of us that "run" the group are friends from high school back in Seaford, Delaware. Doug and Mark (our other two participants, and by the way TWINS) are two of the very most creative people I've known and both have a good eye and a sense of what makes good photography. The artwork these guys have produced over the years is fantastic! The idea of the group is that we take a challenge weekly and create an image following the theme of the week, post it and let everyone take a look and comment on it! The "winner" gets to name the next assignment! So far we've done "Self Portrait" and Doug took that one! This weeks subject that Doug chose is "afterlife"! I LOVE THIS PROJECT, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT TESTS AND WORKS MY CREATIVE JUICES, BUT I GET TO INTRODUCE YOU GUYS TO TWO VERY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS! I will learn a lot from this exercise and I hope you will gain some insights as well, not to mention a motivational kick!
See ya in June!!!!
Richard
