While We Are On the Subject...
Why do you need a professional??? Yes, we hit some of those points yesterday, but let me share with you this one.
When I first was trying to make a go of photography, a friend of mine introduced me to her friend. Now this friend was a loving mom who was dying. She was so young and but wanted to leave something for her small child to remember her by... wow, no pressure there right? Did I mention I was just starting out??? Could I have done better? Of course!
Well, the portraits may not have been great but guess what, the family was elated to have the portraits. Something the young woman said to me while doing her shoot was "just think 100 years from now, your portraits of me could be in someone's home"... poignant.
What portraits will be in your great-grandchild's home? What will they have to remember you by? A selfie? Or a piece of art?
