LIGHT....~....BULB!!

There are times where I tell myself "I could really use a better brain!" and then there are times like tonight and those moments where my pure creative genius kicks in and then I'm like "Screw that, this brain is the Shit!"

There are always crazy thoughts and ideas brewing through this little head of mine, no not crazy as in psycho killer crazy ok...geez peeps too much media, too much media! Crazy as in "Why the heck didn't I think of this before!"

Ok...so ill get to it, now before I start spitting off my idea to the world for some home body who doesn't really use their brain and who actually makes an effort to read this blog I am just going to take a moment and wonder if putting this out there is a "Good Idea"

Bob your head a little now to the Jeopardy theme song for minute while I think....

Ok, considering I do not know that many photographers close to me I think I'm safe exploring this idea for a few to see! I would love to get feedback anyway to see what others think about it. Most of you already know that photography is a passion of mine, if not I am ashamed and you do not need to be reading this! lol
I have been trying to get this photography business off the ground, gaining more clients etc...however it is a tad difficult when I am unable to give it my full-time attention because it is not my full-time job. I have a web hosting page/gallery, I have a facebook, I have all the necessary equipment, and I know my work is pretty good. Most of the business is going to rise from word of mouth. I have done plenty of comparisons on pricing and I know I am way competitive and I think that with my lower prices you actually get more than most other photographers and by doing this it means my business may never be able to gain any real income for me especially since this is a part time thing. I asked myself tonight "How can I do something I enjoy, give back to the community, and gain more clientele?"

There are so many people out there who are struggling right? wither someone needs a special treatment for their health they cannot afford because health insurance doesn't cover it, or a family who needs clothing for their kids, or an animal shelter who needs funds to help homeless animals....whatever the case may be, FRiTZ Photography will help fund these times of need. I will dedicate 2 months to One important need and every session booked with me during those months 50% of the proceeds will go to that particular need. If the need is important to you, it is important to me. Help me, Help you! If I do this all year long, I can help the lives of 6 people/charities per year. Not only will my clients be getting fabulous edited pictures of their family,weddings, children, pets, events etc...they get to help as well. Its a win win all around. If they choose to give more than my session fees thats even better! This is the best way I feel I can get my name and my work out there to the community while also giving back. I am not talking just big charities either, even individuals who just need a little extra help that big charities don't even bat an eye at. I can host a 2 month charity for these individuals given proper proof of their need, they can help me spread the word to everyone they know and I will do what I can for them.

Oh and any landscape/Architecture piece by FRiTZ Photography that someone wants to buy a poster, canvas, or framed art from during these months will also go towards these specific needs/charities.

And that is where my brain led me this evening. I feel pumped about it and I think I am going to research this a little more and see If I can turn this into a solid reality. What do you think?
