I realize now how important it is to have ALL day, for several days to devote to editing all the memorable photos I've enjoyed shooting of all these beautiful people!
Only photographers, or family and friends of photographers, understand that the actual photoshoot is the easy part...it's the time consumed in editing that keeps us up 'til the wee hours of the morning, trying to keep our promised delivery dates.
I've also taken some time this week to improve my presentation. This is what your new CDs will look like! Choosing the photograph is the hard part...I'd hate to put the one you like the least on the front of your CD! So I try to find one that I confidently feel you'll want to look at every time you view your CD.
I'll have to say, in these last two and a half years I have tried very hard to improve the quality of work I give my clients, by upgrading my equipment as well as my technical knowledge and artistry. Below is a CD from almost exactly two tears ago. I'm scared to look at the pictures on it...I remember at the time, I thought they were some of my best work. Caleb is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, even if he IS a boy...so I'm sure HE looks adorable.
In our group of photographers (we all started around the same time), we talk about cringing when we look at our older work...I guess if we didn't it would mean we haven't improved :)
With all that having been said, I must tell you all that my pricing system will increase at the first of the year. I'm such a tight-wad that's it hard for me to increase my prices without cringing, too. But I hope to continue to please my clients, and continue to improve my service to my clients.
Thanks to all of you who have helped me fulfill my dream! I pray that all of you will fulfill yours, as well.
