Getting ready for the great big 4th of July Week!!

I’ve been a professional photographer for more than 34 years, this year I’m witnessing many friends closing shop and going under, and more looking for jobs because so many non-pros are selling off all there work for pennys and the public is shopping price and not quality. The other big problem is that people think its easy to create what we do and oh yea, they have photoshop too and say or I can do that! NOT!! The camera companies tell people that anyone can create beautiful photographs with our super duper cameras….thats a BIG LIE! I’ve had more people the past few years call me and ask if I can help them with their awful photos they got after paying some student with a web site to shoot there $30K wedding and see if I can fix any of them. Sorry I tell them, you should have hired a pro with years of experience and knowledge. The biggest day of their lives, and this is where you cut your budget from?  I wonder if anyone ever said to a great painter…Hey I can do that in Photoshop, you dont need brushes.

Wow, I haven’t blogged in almost a year!  I was thinking about shooting less weddings, since I started in this business 34 years ago, weddings are getting harder and harder to compete against all the want-a-be start ups out there charging so little and turning out awful work, seems many are just shopping for price and not quality, then they get their photos and its too late.

So I prayed and asked God to have me shoot more portraits like I did when I first started in business back in 1980. Then came along www.Groupon.com. My first run with them sold 98 family portraits in 72 hours in May 2011, then in August this year ran another offer and really bumped up the value to almost $700 worth of photography for only $99! They sold over 200!! Now I’m busier than any other time in my life shooting 7 days a week all over the place!

So be careful what you say and ask for…because if you’re a beleiver….it just might happen to you.

 Have a great day everyone
