I’m constantly being asked, “Why don’t you sell images on CD with your sessions as a package?” Its a good question. Why don’t I? Actually this is something I think about all the time. On one hand I want all my clients to have every image from their session and allow them to print them as they want but on the other hand I think paying for professional photography also means you are paying for the professional quality that comes with it. Now this is not to say that I don’t sell CDs because I do, all the time actually. Personally however I take pride in the quality I offer all my clients and I thoroughly enjoy receiving those packages my UPS and FedEX guy bring to me when orders come in. With each and every order I love looking at the finished product and even today I still catch myself saying “Wow I really took that didn’t I” I only use professional photo labs and with that comes so amazing finished products. Yes having a CD means clients can print images where ever, how ever they want but with that comes the risk that the image quality may not be what they have come to expect.

Photography is a passion of mine that I have the privilege of sharing with others. I consider myself very blessed to have “fans” through places like Facebook or just people in general who love my work and will actually pay me, little ol me, to capture their family and themselves through my camera time and time again. This is not a job to me and not something I do just for the money. The biggest reward is seeing the smiles on my clients faces from the start of our session to the day I deliver their prints.

I had an old childhood friend inspire today’s post. He reminded me why I do what I do and I wanted to share. Whether you choose to buy prints or to purchase a session CD it is important to decide what is more important to you and what will best fit you needs. I want my clients to be happy and will do what it takes to make each and every one smile
