The Benefits of PhoArtgraphy

Ok, let me start off by saying that I don’t like to brag about myself or what I do but being a business owner means I have to do just that. It really is a major conflict for me. I’m really a behind-the-scenes kind of person but if I were to be that way you all might not ever hear anything about me. Well, I guess I do have clients who will vouch for me and my skills but it’s still up to me to market me and my skills. So, here goes. Five benefits you will receive for hiring me! (Yaaaaaay!)

1. My studio comes to you! No more wondering how to get to the studio or how you’re going to keep your children as neat and clean as they were when you left the house. In fact, if you wanted, you could wait for me to arrive before you got them dressed, just to make sure. It’s just a thought.
2. I have a makeup artist who will come with me to do your makeup. That’s one less thing for you to worry about. Actually, I guess that’s two less things if you count item one above. (Yes, I know it’s not grammatically correct but it just flows better than fewer.)
3. During my complimentary consultation, one of the things we discuss is wardrobe. This includes color coordination with other loved ones, as well as what colors look best on you. If you make time, I can actually help you select outfits that would go well together and look great on camera.
4. I walk you through the entire process so that you know what to expect when to expect it and how to expect it. I don’t want you to be confused about any part of the process. If you have questions, I will answer them. But I know I’ve really done my job well if you don’t have any questions.
5. You will receive some beautiful artwork to display in your home and/or office. Now come on, isn’t that the point of all of this? To create some tangible memories of a particular time in your life?

Those are the five benefits of working with me. Having fun and making a new friend is another benefit but I wanted to list those as side effects of working with me. Yes, beautiful photography is an investment. I’m not going to sugar-coat it but I believe it’s a necessary investment. You hear all of the time that when a person’s house catches fire one of the first things they grab is a photo album.  Or when a loved one passes away they are so happy or sad, depending on the situation, that they did or didn’t have a recent picture of that person. I mean really, when was the last time you had pictures of your family, your children, yourself? Time doesn’t stop just because you don’t take pictures of them. I would love to be your photographer. If not me, someone else whose work you love. As long as your memories are preserved and preserved well, I’ll be happy for you.
