Monday Madness

Good afternoon all...

It's been a great Monday getting to talk with a couple future brides and their wedding dates coming up this year. Not only talking to brides, I also got to text message an old friend and coworker that's getting married this year as well. They have booked a photographer they love and I get an invite to participate in their wedding. I'm ecstatic that I get to be a part of their special day on the flip side.

Catching up with the emails from the weekend and the past week from working on the ambulance, it's been a wonderful day with many great contacts made and keeping in touch with my clients. Dang it... I love my clients. They are some great people with great personalities that make me love my photography job more than my full time job. HA HA Well... not quite but close!

Finding some new products today to add to our collection here at Samplawski Photography. Some fancy and some are more traditional which is great. Those who don't know... we like style. Fashion. Trends. and Creativity! We do it all... and that's why our clients return.

Have a great week! Stay tuned for more postings!

It's me, Andy!

Updates

Hello to all...

Wow! Has it been forever since we have been able to blog and keep us up to date on the happenings here at Samplawski Photography.

A lot has happened over the past few months with a lot of news and updates.

We have our new website up and Live. New design, new style, its a new us. We are trying to rotate pictures throughout the website as much as possible.

Working hard at shooting, editing, sales and bookings, we are staying very content and busy. 2010 was a great success with news traveling fast that Andy is on his own, photographing emotions of people. Not only does he love doing his full time job, helping the sick and injured as a paramedic, but he thrives to capture those moments for others to cherish. He loves the time he gets to spend one on one with clients, friends, and family.

New upgrades... the iMac has joined our office. 27 inch screen for crystal clear editing providing outstanding portraits of art to show. It's a desktop but Andy feels that he can turn it into a laptop during his travels. Well... good luck with that! :)

Samplawski Photography started in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and then has relocated to St. Cloud, MN closer to Andy's full time job. This does not stop Andy from traveling back to Eau Claire every other week to do portrait and photo shoots. On location is how we love doing our shoots because it provides comfort and relaxation for our clients. Not only does it provide comfort, it provides us a chance to get to know you more and where we can help show off your portraits by hanging them on a certain wall or displaying them in a special way. Gallery wraps are a lot of clients favorite because they are classy, rich, stylish and blend in with pretty much anything in any home. They are wonderful!

Starting off 2011 with a strong start, we continue to grow everyday. Meeting new clients, creating many special moments, sharing ideas with other business in the midwest, and traveling the world is what we love doing.

"I would like to thank all of our clients that we have met, worked with, booked photo sessions with in 2010. Without you, Samplawski Photography would not be where we are today. My goal in 2011 is to meet just as many people as we did in 2010. That was a lot of people and it was amazing! People are amazing with many emotions from each person. I love what I do on the street as a paramedic and absolutely love what I see through the camera. The camera is my "contact" that I can share with others. The "contact" in my eye when I shoot, I am able to take that and show you on my camera. It's great, I love it and it's my invention. Shhh... I'm not quite sure how to patent it yet! haha I'll keep seeking how to it. So I send out a special thank you everyone for a success 2010. Let's make 2011 an amazing year with your help. I would like to thank Nora, my sidekick, that has helped behind the scenes of the doors of Samplawski Photography. She has been a HUGE help to me with last minute errands, editing, website design, emails, orders, marketing, driving, and the list goes on and on and on and on... I'm not quite sure how I can repay her. Any ideas? haha "

Stay tuned for many new updates coming here at the studio. 2011 has started out with many new great products we are going to adding to our client packages and a la carte order list. New styles and new products makes us happy for the art we capture full of emotion. Photography is ART to us only without the oil, paint, charcoal pencil or marker. Its the natural light we use as our material for creating art. We hope you enjoy our work just as much as all of our clients.

We would love to hear from you... either a session booking or just a message to say HI.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!
