I love photography.  I can't think of much that I don't like to shoot.  (As long as everyone has all their clothes on!  Also, I watched a documentary on a photographer that contracted a bacterial disease from an insect bite in South America.  The disease eats the soft tissue out of your head.  I don't think that I would like to shoot anything that would expose me to those bugs either!)  I have shot professionally for seven years now, and have learned to think on my feet, as well as what to plan for ahead of time.  I worked in the retail industry before I made the career change to my dream job, and there are always ways to cut cost.    Some clients just need the job done, and done right, and don't have the time to do it themselves.  For that I charge $400/hr.   If I wanted to live in a larger city, I'm sure that I would land a lot of those clients.  In our area, that is not the most common client that I deal with.  I'm not afraid to think outside the box either.  Don't be afraid to talk to me about pricing.  There is usually a way that you can help me help you.  We offer a lot of different services.  I hate to list prices online.  Especially when it comes to weddings.  We can work with almost any budget, so it is to your benefit to contact us.  I will tell you this.  I have done the research.  To hire us usually means that you are going to pay half of what you would pay another professional photographer in our area!
