Our presenters, Tena and Jim Lacy, owners of Austin Pro Photo, will give you pointers for branding your business and share examples of common mistakes that confuse customers or even drive them away. Your image IS your brand and a huge part of your sales process.

This is a program of the Austin Biz Success Meetup and the Business Success Center.

About the Presenters: Tena & Jim Lacy, best portrait photographers in Austin 2016 and 2018

As their Austin Pro Photo website states, they don't do weddings and they don't do snapshots. What they do is "create business art...the kind that tells stories" through video and photos. Montena (Tena) Fink-Lacy and Jim Lacy grew up in Austin and went to the same elementary and high school here. They first met as members of a photography group. To them, photography is a science as well as an art. Tena began her career as a graphic artist and abstract fine art painter but spent years as a photo stylist. Husband Jim has been a photographer for many years, building his career as a commercial photographer for both local and national companies. You will enjoy watching this husband-wife duo in action as well as learn a ton. If you're considering adding video or photos as part of your sales process, attend this first.
