  • The S Family – Phillipe Park {Tampa Bay Family Photographer}

    The ‘S’ Family

    S Family August 2013

    I met with this family at Phillipe Park in Safety Harbor on a hot, hot day! Regardless of the temperature, I was AMAZED to see mother Jenni running around after her little girls with a smile on her face and energy radiating from her. I know many, many great mothers and she is the description of a great mother. (Yes, I’m sure if you go to Urban Dictionary you’ll see her name under Great Mother!) Dad thank you for being such a great sport and roughing it out with us in the heat!! You are definitely smitten on your little girls!

    I had a wonderful time getting to know this family of four. Thank you as well to baby sitter, whose name has escaped me! You were a HUGE help and they obviously love you to pieces as are evident in the smiles on their faces.

  • Inspirational Speech from a Famous Actor {Advice for Our Kids}

    I didn’t watch the Teen Choice Awards but recently stumbled across this video of Chris “Ashton” Kutcher, he revealed his real name in hopes of connecting with the young audience in attendance and those watching. This was such an inspiration to not only young children that aspire to be like him, but ones like me as well.

    Our kids have so many influences around them both good and bad. We try everything we can to let them see the good and hope they aspire to be “good” in every way. Most of the time we don’t have control over what they take in but I believe messages like these can help them see that even a famous actor is a real person, who has real problems and who has real emotions. He too once worked at a grocery store and outside in the hot sun. He started from the bottom and worked his way to where he wanted to be.

    As for adults, sometimes life can get rough and tough and in the business world alone, you feel like running a Small Business can be such a complicated task. He took a piece of Steve Jobs from a recent movie he was working on and said this, “Everything around us that we call life was made up of people that are no smarter than you,” he said. “And you can build your own things, you can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life — don’t live one, build one.” Its nice to be reminded of things like this because we can feel like we aren’t as good as other people may be. Hearing something like this is inspiration to keep going and get to where I want to be. I want to build my small business into a successful Tampa Bay Photography Studio.

  • Professional Albums vs Shutterfly {Tampa Bay Baby Photographer}

    I wanted to expand on my topic of Print Lab Comparisons and talk about Albums. We’ve already discussed the quality of images from  non pro labs which you can view here.

    I know many companies like Shutterfly offer amazing deals on Albums for as little as $60. It seems like a great deal, I know. If you think about any product that is consistently offered at a extreme low price, it could quite possibly mean that the product is of low quality. And when I say quite possibly, I mean, it usually is.

    An example, a very close friend of mine spent thousands on her wedding photographer. They came out absolutely beautiful. She specifically asked for pricing with a DVD of images. She was advised (by a few of us) to get her album designed and printed by her wedding photographer. She decided to design her album, which took her weeks to get the right style she wanted. She thinks she spent about 5 hours adding the photos to the templates she bought. She decided to send her template to Shutterfly because she got a deal on an 10×10 Album. She wanted it to be bigger then that but she didn’t see spending more money on an Album. It arrived, she liked it, just satisfied enough that she gets to see her wedding photos in an album. I specifically remember her not being overly enthusiastic but her words were “Hey, at least I have some of my photos in one place.” Fast forward six months, after family members, friends and her and her husband opening and closing the book, some of the pages are falling out. Fast forward a year, now she’s kept the book on the shelf permanently because three pages fell out completely, five pages are hanging by a strand and one is wrinkled from someone spilling water on it. Now she’s going back to her photographer for a 40 page Album. Her Shutterfly album was only 20 pages and she wants a lot more photos in this one. She’s already spent around $125 and her time, and she feels she’s wasted the money and is slightly embarrassed that she has told people she doesn’t have an album of her wedding photos. Now, she’ll get an Album with double the amount of photos and she doesn’t even have to spend time designing it. Oh, and if someone has an accident, it won’t wrinkle up, because pro albums have water resistant pages! She regrets not spending the extra money in the first place and said she was embarrassed by the quality of the album that represented the most important day of her life.

    I know of many other stories related to this that represent other non- pro labs and I sincerely hope that this hasn’t happened to you. If you’re one of my families, let me know and we will get a FAB album pronto!

    Just as I stated before, after all the time, money and effort you’ve placed into a session or event. Don’t let a non-pro lab’s album degrade the quality of the images that were professionally photographed. Not to mention the work you did to create something for the photos whether it be your wedding details, an outfit, etc.
