Big Changes Coming Soon! :)

So many of you know, many of you don't know yet, but finally (after 4+ years of experimentation), I'm super excited to announce that I will be officially merging my photography business with Platinum Mix. I say "officially" because we've been secretly offering under the table package deals for the past year and a half or so. Secretly, because we've been careful to spread the events out so as not to get over-loaded with all the extra work. Photography adds a substantial amount of post-production, so much so, that we've had to hire an additional dedicated photo editor last summer. Starting out with the honor of being selected to photograph and provide DJ services for special events surrounding the NCAA Final Four in April 2009, the past 10 months, we've somehow managed to offer DJ + PHOTO + VIDEO to 9 of our clients (without any advertising, business cards, fancy marketing materials or anything -- I'm pretty proud of myself for that one). In addition, I was happy to serve another 33 the past 12 months operating under "Sara Michele Photography". It took a little longer than I expected, however I now feel 100% confident in our workflow (we've consistently delivered everything on time within 30 days of our clients weddings), and I feel that our team is strong enough and ready to really grow with this. This is incredibly exciting for everybody involved for many reasons, but the biggest:: Wait until you see the totally awesome package deals we've worked out!!

There is MUCH work to be done. The entire website needs to be overhauled, all of our advertising needs to be updated, all of our printed materials, business cards, basically everything needs to be re-designed. We've all been busy around here to say the least. All of the above is in progress, and starting with this blog announcement, expect to see much to come from Platinum Mix in the coming months. With that, I'm pleased to post our brand new logo -->>
