In the never ending battle to offer our customers the best service in the world, Ben Drucker Photography now has an email newsletter. We won’t bombard you with emails; an email will probably go out once every month at most, unless we have something really important to tell you. Newsletter subscribers will be the first ones to know about new offers and special deals, as well as the occasional subscriber-only discount. If you’d like to receive our newsletter, you can head over to the signup page.

We also have a Facebook page, where you can go over and become a fan of Ben Drucker Photography. You’ll get a lot of the same benefits as the newsletters: free stuff, discounts, and early notice of new offers.

We look forward to communicating with you!

Well, it’s finally here. After months of work, the new website has arrived! And it took a while for a reason. Take a look around the new site. Here’s some things you’ll notice.

• Speed. I can’t even say how much time I’ve spent tweaking things on this site so it gets to your computer as fast as possible. Despite all the images, my site loads in just 2 seconds on a cable broadband connection. Plus, it’s fully standards compliant, meaning you get the content you want with no errors, and no formatting problems.
• Design. Simply put, the new site is so much prettier than the old one. And who doesn’t like pretty websites?
• Blog. For the first time, I now have a blog. While most of the posts will feature images from a recent shoot, some posts will announce things like discounts and new offerings from Ben Drucker Photography. You can stay up to date by subscribing via the RSS link, or by signing up for email updates.
• Photos. And big ones at that. My new site features more photos and bigger sizes. Whether at the blog or the portfolios, my images are displayed in high resolution. Might as well take advantage of the broadband internet connection you pay for, right?
• Clients. Until you become a Ben Drucker Photography customers, you won’t see one of the best new aspects of the new website. All future clients will receive a free personal client page, where they can view important dates, an event checklist, click over to their proof gallery, or even pay their deposits and final payments. It’s a one-stop-shop for all the info you need as a Ben Drucker Photography client.

There’s so much that’s been added, I don’t even have the time to list all the additions. We’ve looked at what clients and potential clients wanted in a photographer’s website and designed our site around what our customers want.

Early Sunday morning, I headed over to the Antiles’ house in South Orange, New Jersey, to go shoot some family portraits since a lot of their extended family was in town for Jessica’s Bat Mitzvah. I expected maybe 15 people or so, but boy was I surprised. It seemed like there was another uncle or cousin arriving every minute. By the time everyone was there, there might have been more than 30 people in the house. Nevertheless, with the help and cooperation of the Antiles, everything went perfectly. To my amazement, we were done in just under hour, despite all the combinations of family members we were constantly arranging. Thanks to the family for all their help and cooperation, and of course, congratulations to Jessica on becoming a Bat Mitzvah!
