I am speechless! They are absolutely gorgeous pictures and I love the uniqueness of them. Not one of them is what one typically sees and it shows how brilliant you are as a photographer! You must have each one of these in your portfolio - they will surely impress prospective clients!
Wow. Thanks so much for the compliments!! Hey, Kitty I am not all that expensive, heck, if you could make it up here I would do your shoot for just the cost of printing (or I could give you a CD, which would make the whole shoot free!)
Naw...you are WORTH payment. You have a true talent, and when doing business with people conservatively, not ripping them off, you will make a fine living at it. I wish you well, and I will be calling...god willing.
:) Thanks! I am going to be charging competitively to the biggest town near me, as the other photographer charges so much because she knows alot of people just will not take the hassle to drive 45 minutes-1 hour just to get their pictures taken. My prices will be based off of other photographers. There are already a ton of people who are just waiting for me to get my studio open. I am hoping this month to get my site up and business cards printed.
One of my specialties that is not offered anywhere local is Petography(Pet Photography), I am VERY excited about that.
Katz, you should make a Photo Blog. I am actually in the same place you are. Working on it and I bet a million people saying go professional. LOL I like you are also doing the free photos on cd or at cost. Just to build up my portfolio. Most people here in Hawaii want family pics on the beach. Next year I am going to do the pics for my daughters dance studio. I am going to buy lights soon (probably alien bees) and start trying to use those. LOL we'll see. Since i'm strictly natural light so far.
Here's mine. Nothing Special. Just pics of my kids.
Wow, you have some adorable kids. Your daughter is precious and it looks like she is in alot of activities. You have alot of really great pictures. I will have to look in to creating a blog.
I got a great hot light set off of ebay. I like Alien Bees alot but found a better deal on Ebay. I am going to be doing Chroma Key too, so I am hoping to be getting my green/blue screen soon. I wish I lived in such a beautiful place as you! We have pretty much wheat fields in every direction here but luckily I can travel to some pretty decent places(everything is about an hour away though )
Do you have a business license yet? I got mine last month. I have people constantly asking me when my studio will be open, I am hoping soon but we keep running into problems(other things keep getting higher priority )
Anyway, thanks very much for the compliment!! I hope you do well too!
Jeez, Nikki... Could your kids be possibly more photogenic? They are beautiful. I hope you keep a leash around them and a loaded shotgun over your shoulder. J/K, but they will need watching, too attractive for their own good. I don't see many kids that good looking. Your daughter is stunning. They will pick and choose their path and companions in life. Everyone will want to know them. God bless your family, and keep them strong and safe. Did you have to sign up again? You are the Nikki we had here before, yes? Cheri http://www.solidimagelabs.com
I just finished an incredible book called "Everybody Wants Your Money" by David W. Latko. Everyone should stop whatever they are doing in life, and read this book before they lose their money. Whether you have money, or plan to have money, or have already lost it, this book is a real eye opener. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060851155/104-2939084-8247937?v=glance&n=283155
