Things in life are funny.  I've worked so hard over the last 4 years to promote myself and my business, I've taken classes and worked with professionals to improve my passion.  My goal is to continue to improve on what I LOVE and am so passionate about.  I study other people's work and their styles to find my own.  I've noticed something lately.  Just because you own a camera doesn't make you a good photographer or a good business person.  I've looked at a lot of local photographers and wonder why people are paying them for their work.  I, by no means, am a professional but I'm working on it constantly.  I charge the absolute bare minimum pricing and provide quality work that I am proud of.  People are funny.  I find it funny how people create a business Facebook page calling themselves a photographer but they still shoot in Auto mode and JPEG.  They don't know they are selling themselves short.  Read, learn, study.  I've found to be a true photographer, you have to learn something new everyday.  I'm never satisfied and work daily to provide the best possible service that I can give.  I'm passionate about my work and I'm so thankful for my customers.  They are the absolute best!  My suggestion, if you are in the market for a photographer, do your research.  Look at their work and compare it to others.  Don't look at the price tag first.  Let the work do the talking.  The sun is out for now, so get out and enjoy what God has given to us.  Enjoy!
