What a lot of clients don’t realize about photography is that a lot happens in the "digital darkroom." It’s easy to assume that I show up, have fun with you for an hour, then print pictures straight out of my camera. The truth is, it’s a lot more involved than that!
Taking the shots from "straight out of the camera good", to "take your breath away gorgeous" is a process. It’s a process I love, and it brings out the artist in me! Here’s an example from my session last weekend. This picture is correctly exposed and I like the way it’s composed, but it has a lot of blue/gray and just lacks that wow factor!
After I work my magic in photoshop, the final picture looks like this…
All that to say, as a client, you’re not only hiring me for my ability to take pictures, but also the artistry (and hours!) involved in making them breath-taking images.
During 2007 I’ve been able to offer some amazing prices for my customers, but my workload has increased to the point that my pricing structure will be changing in 2008. All 2007 customers will receive the 2007 pricing, but all sessions booked and all orders made in 2008 will fall under the new pricing.
On another note…I’ve decided to go with logo #1. I was leaning that way all along and it looks like many of you who responded to my previous post agreed. Thanks for taking the time to help me decide!
