Introduction: Just having an expensive camera or owning Photoshop does not make someone a photographer. We have a strong desire to provide top-notch, high quality images. Maybe every photographer says that, but I don't know if everyone's meaning is the same. Strong lighting and composition are important, but it doesn't end there. Years of experience shooting and selling thousands of images to families, businesses, artists, bloggers, and designers gives us the confidence to stand proudly behind our work.
Matt would say meeting new people and revealing their photos for the first time. I love that part too. But also, as an artist I love seeing my photography in use. I've literally teared up after seeing my session photographs hanging in client's homes. I've seen my commercial photos at work advertising chicken, opera, churches, dog clubs, local events, and more.
