"Sterling Studios" Studio Visit

On the 12th May we had a huge turn out of nearly 50 people (the biggest attendance ever) at the 'Sterling Studios' Studio Visit which was hosted by the very talented staff of Chris, Sonia and Glen.  We have received many positive comments saying it was one of the best studio visits ever and how much fun was had.

Sonia, Glen and Chris  

Sterling Studios was originally founded 34 years ago by Glen Knoblauch who is now a highly respected leader in our industry.  The Studio itself is situated in a beautifully renovated Queenslander in the inner city suburb of Coorparoo which is a very appealing position for prospective clients from all parts of Brisbane. The Studio has a lovely foyer area, a wedding client viewing room, a portrait client viewing room, an office, a portrait studio and processing rooms.  However that's not all! The back yard is a fully functional outdoor studio extravaganza... The feature backdrop is 150+ year old walls from the wool shed buildings which was custom made to withstand any storm as a permanent fixture.  There is also a cubby house/ play area, a colourful garage wall and landscaped gardens with pathways to top it off.  Wow!  That's all very impressive and from the moment you walk in the front door of the studio foyer you realise that it has an image of class and sophistication. The many award prints and trophies proudly displayed are evident of the quality which has been achieved and refined over the years.

        

      Chris speaking

Chris gave a very informative outline of their studio activities, featuring the modern way of doing album planning and many people were keen to ask questions and find out more.  It was a wonderful opportunity to sit and listen to someone with so much experience and success and to be able to take home some key points to help in our own business.  

After the presentation was wrapped up with a beautfiul slide show 

we socialised with steaming hot pizzas, 

heaps of alcohol and other yummy stuff.

We had quite a few first time visitors, including the Qld AIPP President, Melinda Comerford and our new PPAQ members and we hope that you all felt very welcomed 

and made some new contacts and friends.

Happy Birthday Lesley

To top off our night we surprised the beautiful PPAQ Treasurer Lesley Downie with her Birthday Cake as we all sang Happy Birthday to her and partied on to the early hours of the morning.
