I met with five photographers a few nights ago at Platform Beer Co. - just to hang, have a drink, and talk shop. I told them I was writing this blog post and they agreed...

While we are so grateful for friends who hire us, we never expect them to do so. They should be hiring photographers whose work they are absolutely obsessed with - because that's so much more important for all involved! Our friend gets great work. Their photographer is supported. And we get to continue to work with clients who didn't even consider another photographer because they enjoy our work. Win win win!

And I don't just mean photographers - I mean any industry! Most people know quite a few others who provide products, services, etc.

​See? We won't be offended if you choose someone else. :)

Happy Friday!

THE BIGGEST THINGS TO KNOW:

• YES you should buy this if you're a photographer looking for creative inspiration
  
• NO you should not buy this if you're looking for technical tips (she basically gave none)

​
WHAT I ENJOYED SO MUCH:

• Her story and how she made it to where she is (so inspirational!)
• How she works (she's like me!); she's self-taught and not into gear or technical aspects)
• She taught me that it's ok to tell people I won't show them images until after they've been edited (sure I already knew that, but sometimes I need to be reminded that "it's ok")
• She also taught me that I don't have to love my work - I can just redo it, or be ok with it not being perfect (as a perfectionist, I also need to be reminded of that)

I'm not giving much of it away, but I do think that the above should be considered prior to purchasing the lessons.

Enjoy (or don't)!

Happy Friday!
