Bruce Hudson
"My Mentor"Seattle-area native and former high school band director Bruce Hudson found his passion for photography like many professionals, as a hobby in high school. His major interests back in the early 70’s were playing in an award-winning high school jazz band and spending time with his first love, Sue, who inspired his artistic direction in photography. In 1982 Bruce and his late wife created an incredible business based on the studio life-cycle of children, seniors, weddings, and family wall decor. Their business plan was simple from the beginning...
Finding the balance between artistic fullfillment in photography and the financial rewards of owning your own business.
Today Bruce and his staff continue to refine their systems and strategies for studio success by concentrating on maintaining the relationships with past clients, while exploring targeted marketing to highly-qualified prospective clients. This is illustrated in Bruce’s first published book titled "The Relationogragher" where Bruce shares these philosophies.
