Now for some personal news, I have recently joined the local photography society and am looking forward to what this step may bring to my photography journey. Meetings don’t start until September, so there is not much to report on this until then. Watch this space for any interesting public events that may be happening.

 

Freebies

The freebie sessions for this year are still available for booking, so if you have a business or organization which you think may qualify, please get in touch to discuss more. Please note this is only aimed at businesses, organisations and charities.

Work for the NHS? Receive 10% off any photography services! PROOF will be needed.

Recommend Ali Watson Photography to friends or family and receive 10% of any product- whether it’s another photography session or extra prints.

 

Sponsors and Charities

Sponsors:

I am looking for up to four sponsors for Ali Watson Photography, one sponsor for each main package offered (two for Portraits and one each for equines and canines).

Please get in touch for more information or refer back to previous blog posts where more information has been given.

Charities:

As the business develops, I hope to introduce a charity scheme. Where, with ever photography shoot booked 10% of the fees will be donated to a charity. As a small business I would ideally like to donate to small local charities, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know. If I can, I would like the charities to link closely to the different photography sessions I offer (so anything which would support children, young people and families, canines and animals and any equine charities).

 

More News…

If you follow the Facebook page you will have noticed I am looking for models, to use to update the photos across the website and social media pages. Please get in touch, if you would like to book a free 30minute mini session and to find out more. In return you will receive up to 10 digital downloads available to access through a password protected album.

 

Are you thinking about getting in touch to book a photography session or for more information regarding a package I offer? I can’t always answer the business phone straight away, and would quite like to get back in touch with potential clients in a professional manner (and avoid phoning back any unnecessary cold callers). With this in mind the best way to contact me is through WhatsApp, E-mails, Texts and DMs.

However, I understand these aren’t everyone’s method of communication and you may prefer to speak over the phone. If this is you and I unfortunately miss your call, please could you leave a voice message with your name and contact details- so I am able to return your call ASAP..

 

Photography Shared

This week I decided to have a play with a few old photographs. If you follow our social media pages, you may have caught a few of them. Here they are again

 

Opening Times

The summer holidays are here! I hope you have all got something exciting planned over the next month. Please be aware of the changes to the summer holiday times as they may differ from the above. Don’t forget to book in early to avoid disappointment.

That’s all for now, see you next time.
