Engagement ring needed! Please help a man out!

[feuerberg]

I am getting married next year and due to a number of reasons, mrs feuerberg to be hasn't got an engagement ring yet. I have been trying invein to advertise my service' in East Dulwich as a photographer to both grow my business and to earn some extra cash so that I can buy a ring before the wedding which is June next year.

I might get critisised by the east dulwich forum police for doing this but I want to offer 10 portrait sessions for ?100 each. Included in these sessions will be a disk of 10 high res images with reproduction rights. These sessions will, after tax, make me enough money to buy a ring that I have seen. Its not a big rock but she will like it. The idea is that she gets a ring, I get to give her the ring and you get some lovely images of you and your family. I can also offer corporate headshots and would be happy to offer these as well. The point is I need to raise ?700 before christmas which is when I proposed.

I offer portraits and I offer family photos and whist we still have some summer left, and with Autumn looming, I would love to get out and get shooting...

FEEDBACK - I would really appreciate you advice.

What would attract you to buying a portrait session?

What would you look for in a photographer?

What products can I offer?

Whats stopping you investing in some photos of your family?

Kind regards

Feedback:

Nothing would attract me to a portrait session, because I simply can't afford it. Even if I could, I can think of far more important things to spend my money on.

If you can't afford an expensive ring, go for a cheaper one.

It's the thought that counts & I'm sure she will like it, however much it costs.

Is this a sales pitch along the Closing Down Everything Must Go lines?

[Jeremy]

Best of luck, I wish you well. But maybe selling your services on the quality of your work would prove more productive than the sympathy vote!

[feuerberg]

No sales pitch.

Unlurked: It's a genuine offer. It's important for me to try and raise some money. Photography is what I do so its the obvious choice to start there.

Aquarius moon: Thank you for your comment. I would like to buy her a particular ring. If I can't afford it, I'll to rethink.
