hello everybody,

I just thought I'll tell you about my experience I've had with some professionals, namely photographers, makeup artist and hair stylist.

I exhibited at a wedding expo last year and was approached by a photographer. He really liked my hats..."and would I be interested to get together for a fun photo shoot?!"  A few months later this happened, 2 models, a hair stylist, a makeup artist, 2 photographers and my hats met on a cold afternoon in June for a TFCD shoot. 

The outcome was amazing, I was so pleased with the images, which I subsequently used for facebook, my website and in print.

The same photographer also wanted to do a shoot in my workshop...this happened a couple of weeks ago - again, I got wonderful images from this.

What I'm trying to say is: if your business is a small one ( as most millinery businesses are) and you really have to spend your money wisely for anything promotional or advertising - TFCD shoots are brilliant. Aspiring models and photographers are often on the lookout for opportunities to add to their portfolio - these type of shoots are a win win for everybody...and you'll be surprised how hats fit right in with this concept and indeed add another interest.

So next time you meet a photographer or go to a wedding expo approach them with this idea - you might be surprised and, in fact delighted with the result - I certainly was!
