Wow, it is hard to believe that my "holiday" (I use the term relativily loosely..more properly termed "slow season") is almost over. With the first of many weddings starting next weekend, and several portrait requests coming in weekly, spring is definitely right around the corner. I have spent my January developing many new and exciting offerings from Lucid Musings. New albums, from portrait portfolios and brag books to full size wedding Bridal offerings. I have also began to take the next obvious step in providing full service to my clients by starting an onsite custom framing operation. From simple to elegant, you will be sure to find just the right frame to compliment that special portrait, wedding capture, or personal and unique piece of artwork. Photo restoration and quick, affordable premium enlargements are also part of the Lucid Musings offerings. So if you have any questions, or would like a quote on any of these fresh 2007 items and services, please just enquire Sean@lucidmusings.com .
I have also entered into the area of giving back a little of what I have learnt over my the last 2 years since going fully digital. I am VERY excited to announce I will be heading my first local digital photography teaching seminar starting in April. For the beginning photographer wanting to learn how to take their photos to the level they deserve, I guarantee a fun and informative month long, 4 night "boot camp" of photographic insights.
