SMUGMUG COUPON

hagecreative — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 23:45:21 +0000

One of the best SmugMug Coupon out there is “HageCreative” to save 20% off the first year.

SmugMug is by far the best online photo/HD video hosting company out there; for those of you that are professional photographers and those that aren’t!!! Put your photos in a safe place outside you computer or home where you can access them anytime and rest assured they are backed up. This is the digital era and in years to come make sure to still have the ability to get to your photos.

I will always be a SmugMug User: I’ve been using SmugMug for over 3 years now and will never switch to anything else. With unlimited backup included through them, I can rest assured that my photos will always be safe. They are my offsite backup server for all my clients photos and all my personal photos. I never have to buy another external HD for my studio/office or find a place to store another hard drive. There are BASIC and PRO PLANS to fit your photo needs. So use “HageCreative” to save 20% off your first year.

It’s been awhile

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my blog. To be honest I really wanted to just get rid of it all together. Over the last couple months I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this blog and finally decided today that I need to get back on it. I really like just sharing stories, both personal and professional, so here we go again.

As you can see I’ve given it a complete redesign for a fresh look. Along with a fresh design here I also gave the whole website a fresh design. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I plan to really post a lot here so hopefully I can stay true to my word.

Have a great weekend and see you next week on here.

Corey

PS: The boys and I are planning a camp out tonight, tent and all!!!!……….in the basement!

Run My Business Monday | V2

This weeks “RMBM” is focused on the shooting aspect. When out shooting I typically carry one camera and several lenses plus other tools I might need during the shoot. Every moment is so critical when shooting, I can’t be worrying about which lens to use or fiddling with trying to get it out of a pod or pouch, I will miss that moment. I’m a very selective shooter when it comes to which lenses I use (another post for RMBM) and so I only carry 3-4 on me. When I first started out, because I was always shooting by myself, I researched so many different bags that would ASSIST me. If you are in the industry you know there are so many options it is hard to choose, but when I was introduced to the BODA Bag from www.goboda.com it was a no brainer. Not only does it carry my gear and give my super fast access to any lens, it also protects it from the elements of Seattle weather. This bag is an assistant in itself.

This past year GOBODA, headed by wedding photographer Jim Garner, created a product that in my opinion every photography MUST have, the BODA V3!

This bag is not only for photographers but videographers out there, get your hands on this. Even if you aren’t a professional and you want a bag to carry on hikes, or travel the world with, BODA V3 is your bag.

The freedom that I have when I shoot because of the BODA bag can’t be replaced by any other bag.

Corey

PS: For my clients, this makes sure that I never turn my back on you during our shoots!

Run My Business Monday v1

hagecreative — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:42:02 +0000

Alright in my attempt to be more of a blogger outside of photos and my life I am going to try out what I call “Run My Business Monday”. These will be short or long posts about companies, tip and tricks, equipment that help me run my business. I hope this helps those out there starting out and those that just need the tips. For all you Brides out there that read these, rest assured that they are what help me take care of you 120%

For the first “RMBM” I want to introduce you to my web hosting company, Bluehost.com! They are a very very important part of my company. Without their dedication to making sure my site is up and running 24/7 I wouldn’t have a presence online. I have nothing but great things to say about them. For a hosting company dedicated to there customers is so important in this day & age. Plus a wonderful perk about them is they don’t cost you an arm & leg to host. If you are looking to find a place to host a website or a blogsite like mind, go with Bluehost.com. You won’t regret it.

So the first RMBM goes to the hosting company that keeps working for me when I’m not always work

PS: I’m going to try to include videos in these. I’m in the process of learning that right now.
