A Special Note to All Affected By the California Fires

Dear Photographers and Friends,

As I sit here thinking about our family and friends in Southern California, I am reminded of how quickly everything we have worked so hard for can be gone in a matter of minutes. At the same time I am also reminded to be thankful for what we do have, the most important of which is our lives. Homes can always be rebuilt, businesses can be reopened, and new possessions can be bought. But lives can’t ever be replaced.

I don’t know how many of you have suffered losses due to the fires—I pray that none of you have. But as we all know, many people have lost everything. Yet I have seen many people offer a hand to help those who have suffered. It’s important to know that part of overcoming tragic events in life is to mourn our losses. Then it’s what we do after that counts. As a human race, it’s in our nature to want to do whatever we can to help one another. It’s part of the healing process. I want you all to know that I, and the entire AI family, extend our thoughts and prayers to everyone in Southern California.

May God bless you all.

So much has happened since I last updated my blog…where do I begin??

West Coast Schools:
Great time had by all. Kudos to all that helped with this week long program. How about Disco night…looks like many of you still got the groove going on!!! How about our PPC President, Mr. Collins…hope the hand is better, love the new look.







My Trip to Monterey and San Luis Obispo…thank you Chris Gage and David Pascolla, I could not have done it without your help!!! Thank you both very much. And a BIG THANK you to all of you who attended. These group meetings allow me to meet with groups of photographers in areas that are several hours from my home office. I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time out of their day to meet with me. If you are interested in hosting a product presentation please call me and I will be happy to arrange a group meeting in your area.

And there is the acquisition of WN Albums and Frames…this is by far the most exciting event of the year. In case you didn’t know, Albums Inc. and I are thrilled to have you part of the Albums Inc Family. No matter how big or small your studio is we are here to help. I have spoken to several photographers thus far that have expressed their satisfaction…they are getting their orders quick and as expected. I for one can tell you that Albums Inc is a great company to work with…I know this because I have worked for them for over 18 years now. First as the west coast operations manager for 15 years and now 3 years strong as an outside sales consultant. This company really cares about your future…since your future also affects ours. We pride ourselves with the best customer service available and high quality products that not only last but represents you as a professional photographer. Don’t be fooled by some of our competitiors…I have seen first hand some of the packing products that are being sold out there, and let me tell you…I wouldn’t want some of this “stuff” representing you and your work.

I have seen a lot of changes in this industry over the years and have worked with hundreds if not thousands of photographers. Many of them are still current active customers with Albums Inc. They know when they have found a company that really does care about your image. I for one have many Albums Inc products in my home and I can tell you that they still look as good as the day I bought them. When someone asked to see my wedding album (12+ years old now, took me a few years to finally put on together) they marvel at the quality of the album and how nice it still looks.

I know many of you are struggling to keep up with all the changes and want to know what direction this industry is going. I for one, feel that this industry is going to improve. It is so important that you continue to offer your clients the best that you can, not only by capturing their day as though it was your own, but by delivering it to them in products you can trust. We offer a lifetime guarantee on workmanship of all the products we sell, because like you, it matters to us that our products represent us as well as it represents you.

I am available by appointment to come visit with you and show you what we have to
offer.

I can be reached on my cell 714-465-6582 or you can e-mail me at bharper@albumsinc.com.

Until then, I wish you all the best life has to offer.

Sincerely,





Brenda Harper
