Twins! I’m so excited to hava twins to shoot! I’ve been photographing their big sister since she was a teeny baby. I’m sure I’ll be stalking poor mom for many more sessions to come, lol. So much fun…and they were SO good! All 3 of these kiddos are so sweet. Makes me wonder how mom and dad get so lucky.

We did little R’s newborn portraits not long ago and I can’t get over how much he has grown. He just gets cuter and cuter! I love his eyes and those funny little faces he makes. Can’t wait to see him at 6 months!
I came across an article today that was a very interesting read. It was meant to be shown to photographers, but I actually feel this is a good read for the public to clue them in on the industry of photography. Let’s face it, custom photography is not cheap!
Why go to a photographer *cough, cough* who charges $50 for an 8×10 when you can hop onto a place like Craigslist and get a whole session for $50 that includes 100’s of high resolution images on CD that includes a full copyright? With all the new fancy cameras out now, why not just go out and buy your own Canon Rebel for $500 and take your own pics?
I’ve been shooting and perfecting my craft for over 20 years now. I’m a great photographer (Not modest am I?), but I’m not the best writer. So I’ve never been very good at trying to explain why there are such differences in the cost in photography. But the truth is, you get what you pay for when it comes to photography.
There is a WORLD of difference between a good portrait studio and a cheap burn and shoot photographer. One excerpt from the article says, “there is always going to be a place for the new pro, the part-timer, and the person who serves special niche markets that can’t afford top of the line products” and I fully believe that. But I also think the public really needs to understand the difference and know what they are getting themselves into. In my opinion, important dates and milestones (weddings, maternity, first birthdays) only come once so you shouldn’t take any chances.
