Topic:	What a crazy year!
Message:	Hi All, What a crazy year! Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone effected by the recent economy issues (most of us!....$5.00/gal. gas, ugh!)) and weather disasters. Despite the economy problems, we are still busy with a number of projects, which is a blessing. On that note, we have made several changes over the last several months that we hope will make our pricing even more of a value. Although our prices have risen over the last couple of years, most of the cost increases reflect the introduction of new and exciting products to our packages. This is especially true of our albums, as we have stream-lined our album choices to only include a line of high quality products. Although we have always sacrificed lowering our pricing to only offering high-end products, we have researched and tested several high-end album manufacturers and now offer what we believe to be a great combination of high-quality at a reasonable price. We are also now including the digital negatives with most of our packages, and have actually lowered our package pricing as a reflection of bringing our album design services to in-house. As always, our primary focus is to provide imaginative and creative images to all of our clients, with no sacrifice to quality products. All of our prints come on the finest paper available, and we never utilize the public retail giants (translated CostCo, WalMart, etc) for any of our printing processes. All of our prints, even our proofs, are produced entirely by professional photographic services. Thanks again to all of our current clients and we look forward to making new relation ships in the coming months. Mike and Bev

Topic:	Hi All
Message:	Seems like we never have time to update our blog....but here goes. 2007 was a great success thanks to the awesome clients that have come our way. We have been blessed to work with such great people! We have also experimented with a few package and pricing changes over the last few months, all in an attempt to better serve our clients. For this reason, we have changed some of our pricing or added more valuable products to our packages. We have been able to do this because we have brought some of our services that we contracted out in the past, to in-house. This has allowed us to provide even better pricing for our packages, while still providing high quality products. We are looking forward to even more growth, both artistically and professionally, in 2008!....and we can't wait to begin all of the new relationships that this year will bring, as well as continue providing creative and quality work for all of our current clients.

Topic:	Hi All
Message:	Well, our new website has been up and running for a couple of months now, and the response has been awesome! The work that Jeff and Kevin have done for us at BigRigMedia speaks for itself when you view the site….these guys are great to work with, and we would recommend their web development and marketing skills to anyone looking to increase their sales, especially as it relates to marketing on the web. As for the photography business, we are approaching the heart of the wedding/engagement/portrait season, and we are accordingly very busy, with both new and repeat clients, but we are always flexible in trying to accommodate new appointments. Some of you may already know, but my wife, Bev, has taken a more prominent role in our business, especially as it relates to our wedding work. She has even started carrying a camera, and this approach has already yielded even more great images for our clients…she’s becoming quite the photographer in her own right….but don’t tell her I said that, I can’t afford to lose her, not that she’s making much anyway! Please visit our site often, as we will be updating images and information on a regular basis. Our goal is to create imaginative images by communicating with our clients and to reflect their spirit in all of our work. Thanks for visiting today, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Mike and Bev
