Daily Meetings

One of the methods we use to strive for continuous improvement is daily department meetings.  Each area will gather for just a few moments near the start of their day.  The Department Coordinator will typically lead the meeting, paying particular attention to any new or ongoing problems. 

We’ll also then go over any changes coming, etc., then give the other team members a chance to offer thoughts or suggestions.  Just 5-10 minutes a day, fairly informal (as you can see), but they are an invaluable tool for improvement.

Here’s the Mount/Finish team gathering for their meeting one day earlier this week.Mount/Finish Daily meeting

GET TO WORK, SLACKERS!!

Just kidding, of course!  I just want to say that y'all do a great job!  I recently shot a family who showed me their previous prints from another photographer (mall chain, I think), who may have even done in house printing and mounting.  The mother was disgusted with the prints (murky, icky).  I flipped them over to reveal the most botched up mounting job ever (crooked cut with strays from a dull blade).  She was so relieved when I delivered her mounted prints from Millers. It's little things like this that makes our work "professional", and sets apart and one bar higher from the "budget" studios.    Thanks so much for your hard, and awesome work, guys!!
