High School Contract - Landed!

I received a call tonight letting me know that the local high school's Athletic Director signed off on the deal to make me their contracted sports photographer for the 2008-09 school year! This is pretty big news for me since it means I'll have plenty to do during the weekdays (my work to date has mostly been on weekends).

Tina and I are very happy with the news.

High School Contract - Pt. 2

The high school booster club had their meeting last night to discuss bringing me on as the official sports photographer. Once my name was mentioned a few other parents chimed in with their support of me since they had also purchased images from me in the past.

Long story short, the vote was unanimous.

We're now going to work together to make sure we have a uniform voice to approach the school's athletic director with. If he signs off on this, then it's a done deal.

Possible High School Contract

I received an email out of the blue today from a parent of one of the football players I've photographed in the past. The player has moved on from youth football and into high school, and the parent in question noticed that no one was taking pictures of any of the kids that play sports. She took it upon herself to approach the school's Athletic Director about getting me to become the contracted sports photographer for the school (after asking me via email if I was interested).

That's a pretty good feeling. She had purchased photographs of her son I had taken a season or two ago and liked them so much that she's 'going to bat' for me in an attempt at landing me a shooting contract. That's a pretty good feeling.
