2010 Readers Choice

Readers voted Spencer Studio

Top 5 Photographers in Ottawa


 

Spencer Studio received the

2009 All-Star Award

for Internet Marketing


Robin was selected as Bruce Hudson's "Monthly Mentor" for March 2010. Monthly Mentor is a subscription based audio CD that goes to over 400 professional photographers in five countries. Robin was interviewed on his marketing strategies.


Spencer Studio is proud to present our employee of the month.  Squeaky Duck is a new employee who has worked hard to get great smiles from our clients, both young and old. Squeaky is an enthusiastic employee often showing up at the quack of dawn and never ducks his responsibilities.

The employee of the month receives a  nice plaque, lunch with the gang and an official employee of the month photo (taken at Wal-Mart).

Squeaky Duck was surprised by this honour.  If you would like to hear Squeaky's acceptance speech click here.

Squeaky goes on Vacay

For those of you following the adventures of Squeaky the Duck, yes the little guy who makes you smile when you have your photo taken. He has used his Employee of the Month bonus and headed down south for  a well deserved vacation. He emailed us this photo. Hope he packed his SPF 25.

“Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"

 

I decided that after 25 years of Home Portraits I need a break, I’m too old, too fat and too lazy to have to pack up my studio equipment each time to take them off to do a home portrait, do the shoot, then re-pack everything and take it back to the studio only to reassemble it all again, time to make life easier. So I bought the biggest roller bag I could find, then bought a complete second set of studio lights, stands, cords, tripods, slaves, extensions etc. packed them in the new bag along with a spare Nikon body.  Now I can just leave it packed all the time so when I get a location shoot I’ll just grab it and go. Ahh life is good.

Robin and his "Studio in a Bag" idea was featured in an article "Location, Location, Location" in the Oct. 2006 issue of Texas Professional Photographer.

   EXPOSED:  Tawdry Office Romance at Spencer Studio

Well this is embarrassing. Angel (our Head of Security and our Official Greeter) and Squeaky (our #1 studio assistant) seemed to have developed an office romance.  Angel explains "He likes to cuddle and makes me laugh"

Photowalks 2010

 

Fall scene        

 

For those people interested in photography I am organizing a couple of "Photowalks" for when the weather gets better. Just a chance for us shutterbugs to get together at some cool local locations to take photos for an hour or two. If you or a relative would like to join us for these free and informal Photowalks. Just sign up and check off the Photowalk box. You will be updated with dates and locations later in the year when they are confirmed.

Bizarre Fact #81 Did you know that Spencer Studio is exactly the same length as the Oval Office, 22 feet.

Bizarre Fact #114 Robin shares the same October 1st birthday with Annie Leibovitz, Famous photographer (often seen in Vanity Fair Magazine).

Bizarre Fact #256 If you rearrange the letters in "Spencer Studio" you get "To dress up nice", and isn't that what you do when you have your portrait done.
