You just bought a good camera, right? So.... you should be able to take great pictures, right? Now, I am not going to rain on anyone's parade here, many have taken fabulous photos, but having good equipment is only a small part of the picture taking process. It is like saying "I have really good brushes, so I should be able to paint a masterpiece" or "I have a soufflé pan, so I can be a chef" or "This text book will make me a great teacher! "
It is not the equipment that makes the professional, it is what the professional does with it. Having the right equipment is necessary, yes, but there is so much more to it; especially today, where the learning curve with digital photography is pretty steep to achieve professional level photographs.
Professional photographers spend countless hours studying the light, their camera equipment, thick Photoshop manuals, reading professional forums, dissecting other photographers work; not to mention the formal education in composition, artistic design, graphic design, lighting, F-stops and apertures, ISO and more!
We do this because we love what we do and it keeps us fresh.
Our eyes have been trained to see how the light falls on a subject and to express that light to create something beautiful for you. We can visualize our colorful world in black and white and make decisions that will best capture the scene. We have learned to anticipate the emotion of the event so that you can always remember that one moment in time that will never return.
We can start with a moment like this: 
and create this......
Or begin with a vacation snap shot like this...
and hone it into this...
Through the time, knowledge and artistic vision we have invested in learning this craft, we can create beautiful portraits and memories for you!
Give me a call and I will capture a special moment in your life!
C'est la vie
