BLOG + VLOG of AUTUMN THEODORE PHOTOGRAPHY

I once paid for a photoshoot and got 3 images I liked

I have so many things to say.

Last fall, I paid a photographer to take some updated headshots of me. We spent about 45 minutes together, and she took (this is my guess) roughly 150 photos.

When she sent me the processed/edited photos, there were about 19 of them.

And I liked (which means I can use) 3 of them.

I have so many things to tell you about this. Read on.

This is one of the 3 photos I liked.
It is one of my favorite headshots ever. :)
  1. I paid $50 (it was a Black Friday deal she ran) for this photoshoot. Was this worth it?
    OMG YES. This was a steal! Three images for $50 is insanely cheap. I would've paid $300 for these photos, if not more.
  2. Why didn't I get all of the images she took?
    Just read this.
  3. I only liked a small percentage of the photos. Can't she fix the ones I don't like?
    Well it depends on what I didn't like about them. Did she forget to remove a huge zit on my cheek? No, but if she did, she could remove that. Did I ask her to give me an image with a darker backdrop? I didn't, but if I had, she could fix that. Am I uncomfortable with my body and I don't like the way I look? On the days when I don't feel beautiful, no one, not even the photographer, can fix that.

It is a photographer's job to make photos that clients like...but clients must take partial responsibility, too. To like the images, they must love themselves.

I want this to be an open conversation because I know it's a sensitive topic. If you'd like to talk more, always feel free to comment below or reach out to me directly.

Happy Friday!
​Autumn
