Brazos Valley Professional Photographers Association

We have a very busy September schedule (check out the calendar on the left)! Let’s begin our quest for continuing education with our monthly BVPPA meeting on Tuesday, September 8th… this program can’t be missed! We welcome the Reddehase sisters from Spring, who’ll tell us all about their Baby Program and will help develop or strengthen your own. Have a look below for more information on Cristie and Melinda and their fun program….

You may know that we meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30, at the College Station Conference Center at 1300 George Bush Drive. We begin to gather at 6:30 for a little social time, have a brief discussion about Guild news at 6:50, and finally, the program begins at 7:00. Please do not forget… the Guild Print Competition begins this month! If you wish, bring a mounted 16×20 to enter.

We hope to see you Tuesday, September 8th at 6:30!

Seminar Info:
One of the best things you can do for your studio is have a strong baby program. After all, baby clients turn into toddler and family clients! Come learn how to not only get clients in the door, but also how to dazzle them with extra touches that will encourage them to spread the word to their friends. Melinda and Cristie discuss how to set up marketing pieces and create a brand for your studio, in addition to sharing some tips and hints about a great referral program and sales.

About Silver Image…
Melinda & Cristie Reddehase are sisters with a shared passion for photography. Simply put… “We do this job because we love it! There is nothing more rewarding than capturing a special moment in someone’s life. We create images that are held onto, loved and cherished.”

Both Melinda & Cristie have obtained bachelors of art degrees in photography from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. Melinda started the studio in 2001 shortly after college graduation and was, for a time, the youngest studio owner in Texas. Cristie joined her a year later when her degree was complete. They quickly outgrew their 1,000 square foot commercial space and expanded to a custom built studio and three acres just over two years ago. They photograph all types of portraits but love high school seniors and babies the most!
