Fort Worth Camera

2900 West 6th Street

Fort Worth, Texas 76107

Join your friends from Fort Worth Camera, West Side Animal League,

and Glamour Paws on

Saturday, October 8th, from 10-2 p.m.

for a pet adoption event, to be held at Fort Worth Camera.

West Side Animal League will be bringing fostered

animals who are seeking homes with compatible prospective owners.

A representative from Glamour Paws will be on-site with

treats and samples of their premium lines of food that they

offer in their store, along with information about

their full line of grooming services. With every animal that is adopted,

Fort Worth Camera will offer a $25 gift card to our store, and

Glamour Paws will offer a free bath at their grooming salon.

In addition to the Pet Adoption, Fort Worth Camera

will also be conducting a pet food drive for

Don't Forget To Feed Me: Pet Food Bank beginning

September 26th, in store. During the economic

downturn, Americans have been hit hard. Many

families struggle to find enough food for their whole

family, including beloved pets. While animals are

known to increase our quality of life, many families

cannot afford the rising cost of food and care for

themselves as well as their pets. The Don't Forget to

Feed Me Pet Food Bank recognizes the challenge

facing families as a record number of pets are being

abandoned or left in shelters, often as a result of the

downturn of our economy. They offer hope to

families who feel as if they are losing everything,

including their furry best friend.

For every pet food donation (either a bag of dog or

cat food, or six or more cans of dog or cat food),

Fort Worth Camera will offer a coupon good for

25 4x6 prints from our in-store printing lab in

appreciation for your donation.

Thanks again for your support!

Turning Your Photography Hobby into a Business

Many a business guru will attest to the importance of following your passions when it comes to starting a business.  If you love photography and have entertained the notion of turning your hobby into a side business, here are a few tips:

What is Your Specialty?  Are you interested in shooting weddings, seniors or other portrait-related venues?  Are you hoping to expand into commercial photography for real estate developers and similar interests? While you may want to do all of it, consider specializing in one niche arena until you have built up a reputation and client list.  You can expand into new areas once you get your footing.  

Get Notable:  You’ll want to start brainstorming in a notebook to explore you ideas and possible obstacles to getting your business off the ground.  Keep it with you and write down ideas as inspiration strikes.  The written process can also help you uncover new avenues that may not reveal themselves otherwise.

Start Local:  Think about who might be in need of your services? Many small businesses have digital cameras but not the discerning eye to create a compelling image for their brochures, websites and sales materials. 

Sharpen Your Business Skills:  A thriving photography business is as much about powerful marketing as it is about high quality photography.  If you don’t feel you have the marketing and promotion savvy needed, enlist a partner or someone who can assist you in building the ‘business’ part of your new venture. 

Be Social:  Let your Facebook friends and Twitter followers know that you’re now open for business.  You never know where a new lead will come from, and your friends may help you spread the word about your new gig. 

Stop in Our Store:  We’d love to help you with your new venture.  Let us help you determine if you need any additional equipment or evaluate the camera and accessories you already own.  For example, we have a wide range of high quality studio lighting.
