Now Offering Video Services

I'm excited to offer digital video services to the Indianapolis area for 2009. I've recently upgraded some computer equipment and I'm not providing video services to help you showcase your horse for sale, for stud, or simply to give you a record of where you are in your riding and training. Services include digital video of your horse on DVD, CD or VHS tape. For an additional fee, I can also create a finished promotional video clip with text, music and video editing -- perfect for showing off your sale horse or stallion. These clips will be uploaded to an online video hosting services such as YouTube or Viddler. You can then embed the video on your website or view them online at YouTube.com. Video services are perfect for the following options:

- Stallions at Stud (show them under saddle or at liberty)
- Horses For Sale
- Clinic Rides
- Inspections
- Schooling Show Rides
- Recognized Show Rides
- Training Rides at Home
- Lessons with Your Trainer (to track your progress)

Thank You!

I just wanted to write up a quick note to say thank you to all my 2008 clients. Many of you I met for the first time this year, while a good deal of you have been faithful throughout. Many thanks to you all and I wish you all a profitable and healthy new year!

Web Design

I'm guessing that by now, most of you who visit this blog have seen the "web design" feature in the menu. Its been there for quite some time, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that web design is another marketing option that we offer our clients. Do I only build horse-related sites? Nope! I have built sites in all sorts of industries: equine, banking, real estate and construction. In fact, I actually started designing websites professionally before I started my career as a professional photographer.

And the best part for clients is that if I build your website and I take pictures of you (your horse, your business, etc.), you get to use any of the photos I take on your site for FREE. That's right -- no additional web usage costs! You do still have to hire me as a photographer (unless I catch you riding at a show).

I'll bet you're wondering how much it costs, right? Here is a breakdown of rates and services:

Single Page Design: $150/Year
All this does is get you on the web at a great starting rate.
Includes hosting, design, updates, up to 3 photos, text provided by you and all your contact information.
Web Address: www.LatkaPhoto.com/your_business_name (this is an example of what your website address will be)

Three Page Design: $250/Year
This is perfect for a small breeder or business that wants a little more information out there.
Includes hosting, design, updates, up to 3 photos per page, text provided by you and all your contact information.
Web Address: www.LatkaPhoto.com/your_business_name (this is an example of what your website address will be)

Completely Custom Sites start at $500 for design and go up depending upon your needs. The more custom and advanced the needs, the higher the price.

Hosting ranges from an additional $70/year to $50/month depending upon the needs of your business. Hosting is the rental fee you pay for space on the web. Custom sites also include a domain name of your choice. The domain name is the www.YourName.com address.

What Might You Need?
Here is a listing of design options you might like to have on your site:

- Interactive Photo Album (lets site visitors upload photos)
- Photo Slide Show
- Online Video (GREAT for sale horses)
- Membership Area (nice option for organizations/associations)
- Discussion Forums
- Custom Graphic Design (logos, etc.)
- Need something else? Let me know! I'm happy to work with you to create a site that meets your specific needs.
