The last Moments... (San Diego Family Photography)

Before deployments. Its always the hardest times but getting some pictures beforehand always helps. Dad is in the Marines and he is leaving for Afganistan for 7 months. He will miss all those first moments with his little girl, but he is serving our country proud. I was fortunate to get them some family pictures that he can maybe take along with him on his journey to keep his spirits high and keep him safe. Also for baby "B" to see her daddy and how much he loves her!

Slow Times!

Its kind of a wacky idea to say your going to start a photography business in San Diego. Its so beautiful here, there are so many locations for photos, and everyone seems to be a photographer out here. Its such a tough market and when your just beginning, it seems like you are not going to get anywhere. I can offer such cheap sessions just mainly to build my portfolio and still no one bites on it. It brings me down and makes me wonder if its really worth it. Don't get me wrong I am not going to give up my camera, but should I keep trying to build a business? Its expensive for one. People really don't understand why they should pay money for great photos when their friend down the road can take satisfactory ones for free. Well, to start a business it costs money, lots of money. Sure people out there can skip around the bush and not claim taxes or anything but those people are the ones that are not true to our country. We can't make money for free and well its not always fair for those just starting out, sometimes thats the risk that has to be taken. However, its that one person that gives you credit for the work you put into their session and gives you a huge pat on the back that keeps you going. I am going to keep going and I am happy to all that are reading this, giving me support! To all my friends that I have not done pictures for, be sure to keep me in mind! Things are super slow right now so let me know if you want to book a session!
