I'm trying to get my freelance photography and graphic design company going and I've been kicking this idea around for a while, and finally have the time to execute it. (pricing on next post).

From now until the end of the year, 50% of the profits* from any photography booking (book before 12/31/11, shoot before 12/31/12) or beginning of a design project will be donated to the fund for Dylan Levy (Noah of LIC's son). The shoot does not have to happen before the end of the year, you just need to book it before that. Design jobs need to start (meaning consultation meeting) before the end of the year though.

There is no limit on this! 50% of profit from ANYTHING, including but not limited to:
Photography:
holiday cards
family portraits
pet portraits
holiday parties
senior portraits booked for next year
company parties/events

Design:
Logos/Branding
Buisiness card/stationery
Posters

If your work is looking to do something and needs to hire an outside designer or photographer send me a PM, and I'll drop off my card for you or give you my email address.

*50% of what is left after any necessary equipment rentals, proofing costs, and material fees.

 

Photo prices...
Holiday card package: $175 for up to 40 holiday cards (75¢ each after that) with 1 to 4 finalized photos depending on the layout of the card.
Standard on-location portraits (singles, couples, and families) are $150 for up to 1.5 hours of shooting with 6-10 finalized photos, $275 for up to 3 hours and 6-12 finalized photos (these do not include prints).
Studio portraits are $190/hr, 6-10 finalized photos per hour of shooting.

PM me for any corporate projects and design projects.

This is also not limited to just i-clubbers, it goes for ANY booking/project.

Thanks for the gesture Matt, completely not necessary on your part...your business over the years is more than we can ever thank you for, we appreciate it very much!

I know it isn't necessary, just something I want to do.

 

Sent you a PM requesting more info.

 

Thanks! I'll get back to you this evening.

 

Very cool!

 

Very nice man!

 

Thanks guys! I'm going to write a blog post tonight (I feel so trendy) about it with all of the info, so of you know anyone interested in participating you can direct them to that.

 

Hey Matt if you need a hand with anything... even if just some peer review over a beer drop me a line. No charge. If I can help you raise some money for Dylan I'm down.

 

Cool, always helpful to be able to bounce ideas off a more seasoned designer!

 

He knows he's old, you don't need to point it out!

 

yeah...

I just had a class from CSUMB in the office today bouncing career questions off me. It was tough to give advice to a bunch of kids getting ready to enter the industry WITH degrees when I don't have one. LOL.

Kids had never seen a pantone swatch book before. I was like... wtf am I really that o.g.

 

That makes me feel better
