Isn’t this a wonderful photo! Mary commissioned a portrait of her daughter-in-law and their beloved dog Dottie as a special gift for her son who has just received his doctorate. The portrait was commissioned back at the start of the year so the secret had to be kept until the special day. I am delighted that we could contribute to the day and also provide them with something they can cherish for many years to come.
We also have a new contact number for our business which can be found on our contact page. We have invested in a new up to date mobile as our old one was a complete dinosaur and couldn’t do half the things that people seem to do on them these days without a thought! All of our cards and flyers are out of date now of course, but we feel that by having a mobile number as our main contact we will be more likely to catch clients calls as a mobile will always be with us, whereas our static phone is wired to the corner of the studio : ) We are often out walking Tom or at the post office when clients telephone us and previously we would have to either call them back or wait for them to call us as we wouldn’t want to ruin any surprises by ringing out of the blue. So hopefully this will alleviate the problem. It also means I can do emails on the fly, although I haven’t paid for 3g, I can wander around the cottage emailing clients, adding things to our facebook business page, or twitter account to my hearts content! Quite a novelty! Clients can also text message us at any time or contact us via skype on it too so if you are overseas and want to chat just let me know.
Happy Clients on the portraits handover - Mary, Ellen, Bill and Dottie
