Better emails for everyone!

Like our answerphone messages or our auto-reply email!

In my short life I've listened to music played on 7″ and 12″ vinyl records, reel-to-reel tapes, 4-track tapes, 8-track tapes, compact cassettes, CDs, digital audio tapes, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, streaming-music services, and many digital audio formats. With each media came a new player, destined to become outdated and therefore inaccessible. There are lessons in that for photographers… A personal story about media loss, and the pain it causes Earlier this year my wife and I emptied the house where she grew up. We found her childhood box of nearly perfect 45 rpm To View More >>

Take a look at this gorgeous 10x7 Duo album made by Queensberry for Robotti and Rosa Photography. The Boston newborn photographers shared thoughts on style and how special it is to document all the milestones of life for a family. "I was Henry's parents' wedding photographer. I was so happy they asked me to work with them again after they welcomed Henry into the world. I loved watching their family grow through maternity, newborn, 6-month, and first birthday photo shoots." "We believe classic props and clothing, photographed on a simple background, best allow a baby's personality To View More >>

These notes are to help you sell Q-Boxes in your own shopping cart, at your own prices.
