Today was busy - but not with photography, unfortunately. :(
I did go through and delete some of my photos off my website. I decided that I really need to go through and get some more of my more recent work on there. [something else to add to my to-do list].
I also signed up for a free trial Zenfolio account to see how I like it. They only charge 12% to process the order, and, honestly, I hate when people order photos and I have to deal with it. haha. It's just so stressful to me. I have to go through and try to find the photos in Lightroom, match them up with the photos they want, make sure everything is the same...then upload them to mpix, and order. [and a lot of times, they wait too long and I've had to remove them from my computer....so then I have to go hunt them down on an external drive, yet, too.] So, yeah, Zenfolio is looking really good to me about now. :)
That's pretty much it....oh, I did arrange for two meetings with previous brides to get their photo orders. [haha. it would be so much easier if I would be going through Zenfolio now...;)] One of the brides bought the CD with the copyright release, but her Mom thinks it's too much trouble to order it herself, so she pays me regular prices for all the photos. I guess I can't complain about that. :)
Anyway, that's pretty much all that I got done today.
Tomorrow:
-Meet with one bride [from June 2009!...which means, I have to hunt down her photos]
-Find some more magazines to look through for inspiration

Let me know how you find zenfolio...I'm also using Blu Domain and I'd love your opinion on how it compares.
ReplyDeleteAre you all using the shopping cart on Bludomain? Cause I have found it works quite well. It emails me the actual image name and I just have to pull the picture then... which isn't hard because the Select pictures I put up for clients I export from lightroom not only in a web sized photo, but also in a separate folder marked Full size. No hunting pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteI am using the shopping cart. As far as getting the photo orders, it's okay..but i don't think it's that user-friendly. My personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, I need to get more organized! haha. But, the problem is that most of my photos get booted off my computer onto one of my several external hard drives. and my hard drives are either at the shop where I work or at home...and they seem to be in the location where I'm not. :P
I'm definitely starting to export them like you suggested, Kristina, and that will help a lot. :)
