In 2012 Positive Images by Rettberg will change directions and downsize to a much more compact operation. While I am going to continue doing weddings, I do not intend to pursue them at the same level I have done in the past. New opportunities for me are developing which will move me into new professional choices.
As such, Mary Ellen Otter, my longtime associate,friend, and confidant will be seeking new full time employment opportunities in 2011.
While Mary Ellen will continue to shoot weddings for me throughout the coming year, that position will be a part time occupation, so there will be a need for her to expand into a full time weekday job.
Mary Ellen and I have worked together for over 34 years, and there is no one I trust or admire more. My concern for her is that she is able to put her many attributes to work for an organization of the highest caliber who would appreciate her as much as I have.
Her work ethic is beyond superior, her interpersonal skills are professional yet personal, and her attention to detail, and ability to serve our clients has made me the success I am in this industry.
She brings a lifetime of selling and marketing skills to the table, and her customer service acumen is priceless.There is no challenge that she leaves unanswered, and when presented, these situations are resolved in the best interest of all concerned.
My goal is to assist Mary Ellen as I transition into a tighter niche market of weddings and portraits.
Anyone placing Mary Ellen on their staff will reap immediate benefits. Many people reading this already know her as a warm, caring individual, truly interested in the betterment of people around her.That is her nature, as I have benefited from for all of these years.
Besides all of the aforementioned attributes, she is a skilled photographer, working in what I don't say lightly, is the most difficult shooting environment in our industry...wedding photography.
One must keep a myriad of details in their head; multiple camera and flash setting changes; execute under the pressure of time constraints; highly emotional people; clients not used to being in front of a camera; and have an ability to work with several other wedding vendors. All of this, and then you must deliver a once in a lifetime event that pleases people once the wedding day has passed.
Mary Ellen accomplishes all of this magnificently.
I truly hate to let this talent leave my side, but I am at a point where I would like to expand on a personal level and reduce my photography footprint to a much more tightly defined market.
If you are looking for exceptional quality in a person, I urge you to contact Mary Ellen, or myself, to pursue adding the best asset you could possibly add to your staff.
