I've written about this before I know, but we have been discussing this a bit lately at SayerMotter Photography. When we started making memory mates we investigated literally hundreds of different templates available to photographers made and distributed by several different design and printing companies. Some of them are very nice, most of them are just poorly designed and all of them were not 'ours'...or showing our vision. So at first we started making them as simply as we knew how, but keeping them unique. As we develop our tools and understanding of what makes an eye catching memory mate, we get more intricate. More intricate means more time, but if we want to make something unique and with our vision, that is just something we have to do. All together each one takes between 15 to 30 minutes after the initial design is established(that sometimes takes a couple hours to figure out.) What is important to us is that we deliver a product that suits our vision and our commitment to giving our clients quality unique products. We hope people respond well to them and I think for the most part people have. SayerMotter photography and designs by Richard Sayer.
You must know that we come to you because you are unique and take the time to get to know your subjects. Somehow you have managed to capture my cheerleaders each year. You do not simply place them on a backdrop and shuffle them through like cattle! And BTW- I am loving the Saegertown Girls B-ball pics!! Looks like you had fun!!

In response to you question..."What did you do today?"...I woke up at 6:30, started copping and toning photos at 7:30, arrived at the studio at 10:00 to prep for senior portraits, met my 11:00 a.m session, shot pictures until 2:30 p.m, arrived home at 3:00 and cropped and toned more pictures until 4:00 p.m, drove my bird to the vet to have his nails trimmed and his beak looked at, arrived home at 6:00 p.m., ate dinner, talked to you for 20 minutes on the phone, cropped and toned a few more photos and watched TV- "Hoarders-Buried Alive" on The Learning Chanel.
There you have it!

I think that's the longest thing you have ever written online!
