Christmas 2011 season, I decided to put together a promotion for "Last Minute Christmas Photos," for families in my neighborhood looking for a Christmas card photo at a reasonable price. I blasted social media, passed out flyers in the area and carefully planned the location in a nearby park for the big event. My wife, Jennifer, and buddy Mark of Mark Nessia Photography came to help out, and we were ready with memory cards formatted and batteries charged. Long story short; the day was a total flop. But there is more to the story. The only family that showed up, aside from a work friend and his wife, was Dalton and his family. I happily took their photo then and now more than a year later, I have the pleasure of crossing paths with them again for Dalton's senior portraits. For this reason, I am truly glad I decided to put together that "flop" of an event.
