November proved to be quite an exciting month for myself and Michael Knowlton Photography as a whole. As the end of October approached, I sat down at my computer, with what seemed like a gallon of freshly pressed Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and began to write my strategic plan for 2011-2012. All throughout my time at the Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University, my professors have hounded on the importance of having a plan. I have never felt my vision clearer than when I finished this upcoming year's strategic plan. However, I also realized it meant that I just gave myself mountains of work to do. Among those things were to legitimize the business with the government and the tax man, re-brand the company, create my first ever print portfolio and the like. May not seem like a lot of work, but it definitely took some time.
I can now officially say, that Michael Knowlton Photography, is recognized as a Limited Liability Company in the state of Georgia.
Very exciting news! In addition, I have began to finalize the new branding material for Michael Knowlton Photography, LLC as well. Here is just a small sneak peek.
All of the other material, CDs, CD Case, model/print release, letter head, etc will be uniform to the above designs.
And lastly, what I've been devoting most of my time to, my print portfolio. It is ALMOST done. I picked up the prints last week and cut them to size, however, when I put it all together, it became clear to me there is genre of work I am missing. So as of right now, I have 7 photoshoots planned for December to correct this so I have a complete, and cohesive body of work that I can then begin to show. Just a sneak peek for now.
On top of all that, I have two weddings and a senior shoot to finish editing and blog about, as well as some exciting new programs I am currently developing. But, I will be flying out to Boston on Thursday for another Help-Portrait photoshoot with my partners The Center for Student Leadership at KSU(@KSU_CSL), and Suffolk University in Boston.
In case you missed last year's Help-Portrait video, or are unfamiliar with the movement, here it is!
