Guess what? I just bought a new pair of scissors so I am now a barber! Want a haircut?
Hey, I just bought some neat tools at Home Depot, want me to build a deck for you?
So why are so many people letting anyone with a camera take their _____________ (wedding pictures, senior portraits, family portraits, business, commercial, event, team pictures…)?
It is a great question. I can’t stop the rate at which new cameras hit the market, nor can I ever convince these want to be photographers that it is reckless to be charging people money to snap pictures for them.
Keep in mind that photography used to be a fairly expensive business to get in to at a semi or professional level. The cost of equipment was sizable, and it was expensive to practice with the cost of film, processing and printing. Most of us that entered the business, did so with purpose, and a commitment to learn how to do it right.
Experience and deep knowledge of photography pays huge dividends for our clients. I photographed 3 Seniors yesterday afternoon/evening. The outdoor portion of each session provided lighting conditions that changed by the minute. If I did not know how to manually control the exposure, flash, proper use of reflectors… the outdoor portraits would have been a disaster.
Hiring a true professional photographer assures you that your portraits will be something you can be very proud of, for years to come. Anyone can get lucky and snap a great shot now and then, but a trained professional photographer takes pride in doing it everytime, for every client, that’s just what we do.
Life is short, savor every moment, and find a photographer who captures the amazing Milestones and Memories of your lives!
