|Custom Photography rocks!| charlotte, nc child photographer

I know a lot of people have asked themselves the same question when they are searching for a photographer that is just right for them and their family. Why does it cost so much? I was visiting a very talented photographers blog one day recently and found that they had posted this article for their clients. I couldn't not post it. I think it explains everything! Times are hard right now for everyone, including us...and I know that a lot of people consider custom photography to be a luxury, and it is. But unlike a cup of Starbucks or a new outfit, special photographs capture something you can never get back. A moment in time. Memories that can fade. A recent client of mine that hired me to photograph her newborn daughter had a very heartwarming testimonial for me and I can't get one certain thing she said out of my mind.

"Seeing them in print in my hands made me tear up, they are beautiful and when I looked at them and then looked at [the baby], it made me so happy that we did this because she has already outgrown that newborn look."

Hearing things like that from my clients make my job that much more meaningful to me. I know how important it is to me to have photos of my son, and I love capturing those moments that are going to put the biggest smile on my face when he's older. I adore the snapshots I take as well, but it's so much fun to put some creativity into it. It's a lot of work, but it's fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

So if you have a moment, please take a look at this article. It really puts into perspective why custom photography is so special and answers that same ol' questions "why does it cost so much?".


Why Does Custom Photography Cost More?


And because it's so weird to post without a picture, look at this little guy. This is my little man, who turned 3 on January 11th. Wow. It's been 3 years. I cannot believe it. Time flies and so much changes but my love for him somehow grows more and more everyday. It doesn't seem possible to love him more, but I do. God definitely gives parents the ability to love unconditionally and without limits.
