![]() February Meeting Tuesday, February 8th, 7:00pm at Accurate Image Small Town - Big Ideas presented by Sharon Baker president, TPPA Join us Fat Tuesday for a little Mardi-Gras celebration and a great program. Jeanna Kish is supplying the New Orleans style gumbo. Jose Yau is bringing King Cake. Other members are kicking in some deserts. Join us to welcome TPPA president Sharon Baker. Sharon Baker has been in photography for 20 years. Having learned the basics from her husband Steve, the rest of her trade skills have come from 'on the job training' and continuing education from Texas School and other seminars and conventions. Sharon really loves photographing high school seniors, brides and families. The 25 year business that the Baker's have built took a huge change in direction in October of 2003. The studio that had been the only studio in Mansfield for many years, located on Main Street for 19 years was relocated to their home. This switch came after the death of their 21 yr old son, who had worked at the studio for 3 yrs. Now located on some 3 acres and working out of 2 bedrooms, the Baker's have scaled down and are working at a much slower pace. Hear how the work has changed and evolved in the last 15 months. Sales have remained about he same but profit is higher. Sharon will share her sales and promotions with us and discuss work flow. Dues are Due!
