So I have been wanting to post something about this and finally had the good reason to do so! One of my good friends, who is also a great photographer in Kansas also posted something on this topic! The other night I was at a networking dinner with some local small business owners and we got to talking about photography and the pros and cons of hiring a custom photographer versus going to mall photographer.
All I could compare it to was choosing to fly direct or with a layover when you go on vacation :) Every time my family decides to travel we contemplate saving a couple bucks by taking a layover in some random state while heading to our destination...and once we do it we always say, "WHY DID WE DO THAT...I would have rather paid $500 extra dollars to get there quicker and have a nicer experience." So with that said, the same goes for when you hire a custom photographer. It may be cheaper to wait in line at the mall, but once you wait and wait and wait and the kids are crying, you are sweating, the fun is OVER! The experience is gone and all you are left is with a couple shots and still paying a fair amount for prints of your children that may not really represent who they really are!
So like I said before, I totally understand the need for saving a few bucks...but in the long run, once you decide to hire a photographer, the experience, and the little more you pay is SO WORTH IT!
My friend posted this link as well for more information.
Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the warmth in the air. I know I am so excited to get outside and start photographing again!
Happy Spring Break!
