Pride

*Warning* Today is soap box day.

Pride is free as my husband likes to quote all the time. "Pride is a sin" Is another popular pride quote. My personal favorite, is "I take pride in my work" And yes, I do. By taking pride in my work, you are getting the best of me. Do you know why I don't show you every singe image I take? It's because not every single pose was flattering to you, maybe a wrong camera setting, funny expression, one hair out of place, clothing wasn't smoothed, flash didn't fire correctly, you blinked I moved, you moved. There may be 5 out of 25 I just don't think is flattering to the work I do or what I offer as a professional business woman and professional photographer. If you don't want the best most carefully thought out portraits of you, your children, your family, I'm definitely not the photographer for you.

Would you like to see your session posted on my blog? I'd love to post your session here and/or my website. But,I need you to call me when it's time to visit that chain store studio that spends 15 mins in the session (really, why? what does that accomplish?), doesn't retouch (they'll gladly add a fancy frame or make it unique by selective color, gee I can do that, you can do that!) and you see it immediately. Do you really want to see those pictures immediately or do you want to see some awesome retouch artistic work added that make those images works of art for your home? Hey, did you know, when that pride for what I do is factored in i.e. customer service, I'm actually a better deal than the chain store studios. It's called Custom Photography and you deserve it.

Thanks for dealing with today's ramblings. It's bound to happen once in a while. ;)
