A few years ago when Mr. The Man was about 8-9 months old and Drama was 3ish I took the kids to a local photographer. I spent a lot of money only to realize that the pics were sub-par. The majority really weren't in focus and the kids just had "dead eyes"
So I figured I could do a much better job with my canon powershot and a much better job I did. Since then I have developed a passion for taking pics...I believe my background in scrapbooking allows me to see details that make amazing memories out of everyday little things. This doesn't make me a pro by far. I still have a lot to learn.
My whole point is just because you can afford the $5,000 camera and the fancy studio doesn't make you a photographer. What makes someone good and a true photographer is knowledge, the eye, and the ability and need to pass on what you know. (When I questioned her about her camera, at the time I was doing a little research, she refused to tell me saying "someone like you doesn't need to bother with this")
I am not trying to bash this other photographer because I am not about that but I am bothered you can charge $100/session when your pictures look like something my grandmother took at a family reunion.
My whole point is ask away. Any questions feel free to ask me. I may not know a ton because I am still learning, but I will share any and all info I have with you. (can you tell I am irked this chick is still in business?)
Anyway here is one of Stinkerbell and my dad over the weekend
