Happy Belated 2013!
We wanted to start off by saying how humbled we are at the amount of fans we have that appreciate the art that we create for you to enjoy! Gronde Photography has grown so much over this past year and it is all because of people who appreciate good photography and supporting small business in America as much as you all do. 2012 had some of our absolute favorite weddings we have had the pleasure of photographing, the introduction of our Senior Model Program, and SO many newborns!! We received our 10th publication and our 1st Magazine Publication! 2012 included:
Feature in Baby Lifestyles Magazine!
Feature on Charm City Wed
Feature on Storyboard Wedding
Feature on The Wedding Atlas
Feature on Savvy Deets Bridal
Feature on Capitol Romance (one of our favorite local wedding blogs) :D
We were also featured on Living Social where we sold 138 one hour photo sessions (which will continue through June 2013). This has turned out to be quite the double edged sword for our business, but I (Chris) plan on devoting an entire blog post on the ups and downs of this experience as soon as it is all wrapped up. If you own a small business or have ever bought anything from living social you're going to want to read it.
2012 included a new website, new marketing materials, and all out rebranding of ourselves so that we, as a business, are more recognizable.
I (Chris) also finished my degree in Photography and began my journey towards a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Washington. (This is another thing I plan to blog about).
What does 2013 mean for Gronde Photography? I'd like to not give the cliché, "It's gonna be our biggest year yet" speech, but we do have big things planned. I plan to blog WAY more than I did last year! I would like to set a resolution goal of blogging at least twice a month. With the way Facebook has changed, only allowing about a third of our fans to see our actual posts, we are going to bring back our monthly newsletter that went on hiatus for a little bit there. (Sign up here if you haven't yet) This way you know you will get all the latest Gronde Photography news, contests, and deals straight to your inbox, just don’t keep them a secret. Feel free to forward them to friends who might also be interested!
So, what do you guys want to see from us in 2013? More weddings? More contests? Another Boudoir Marathon? Is there something we don’t offer that you wish we did? What can we do, to serve you guys better? Let us know down below! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for taking us to where we are! And here’s to an awesome new year!
Oh yeah! The summer of 2013 will also bring about another tiny photo assistant for Gronde Photography! We thought Aiden needed some help! :D
