Callie is special to us…she is a sitter for our little girls. She was a referral from another sitter we love, Jackie, and what these sweet girls probably don’t realize is just how much we love and appreciate them. There is nothing..I mean nothing that is as important to us as our kids. And when...

Cup ‘O Coffee Q&A (for photographers)
So, oftentimes I am asked by photographers starting out in the business to shadow on shoots or weddings that I am working. I will go ahead and say upfront that I don’t allow shadows at weddings, mainly because a wedding is much more intensive and focused than a session and so I know that I’m...
April 27, 2010 - 12:47 am - Im so glad that there is still ppl like you that are willing to pass down what you have learned. I feel blessed that I found you not very many ppl will share this type of information. I wish you alot of blessing for taking the time to do this and teach other ppl. Do you have a workflow that you follow? How do you set your prices? What software do you use to edit your images? Im so looking forward to the monthly class.

- Awww, thank you Yuliana--I'm so looking forward to meeting you next Tuesday!!
Workflow: I'll need to write a separate post on this!! Its quite a process, but short version: 1. shoot 2. upload cards to computer (lightroom) 3. backup on hard drive 4. edit in Photoshop 5. Take it back to lightroom 6. upload some to blog and blog it 7. upload entire shoot or wedding to my website's client proofing section 8. Burn to disk, laser name and print rights into CD, package it for client 9. Ship if necessary
That is separate, of course, to workflow for potential clients regarding consults!
I use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing
Selecting pricing is another post as well! It depends on your experience level, but I'm going to write a post on that very soon. I personally started out doing a few free shoots and weddings, and slowly inched my way up from there until my pricing was where it needed to be. I am all about simplicity when it comes to pricing/packages/etc.

- Im Glad that I finally met you :) You are a great photographer. I hope to learn as much as a can from you. People sometimes don't understand how much you do work to get a beautiful image done. Thanks again for sharing this info. I appriciated everything you are teaching at the photogo workshop and finding time to
answer questions here. I think the hardest part for me is selecting prices. Yes I agree with you some shoots you have to give them for free and learn as much as you can. I have not shoot a wedding alone yet. I've gonna as a 2nd shooter. I know its a BIG responsibility but it so fun to shoot a wedding. I will see you soon. The images of baby C are ready and cant wait to show them to the mommy. There is one image that I love and can't wait til you see it. Take care!!!
