Photographs By Kathy
About
I offer many incentives to help couples save money and restaurant gift cards for referrals. For many guests at a wedding, they will not get to see wedding photos so I show some wedding portraits from wedding in a digital frame at the reception. Also for financially stressed couples. They can still receive all the photos. Albums and DVDs and pay for them in increment payments.
I really enjoy making special, memorable, spontaneous and posed photographs for couples and families that they will enjoy and share with friends and family. It gives me joy to use my God Given Talent to bless people with my photography. To be recognized as a great photographer is my goal and ambition, as I learn more each time I photograph..better ways to make photos better, more techniques to do better photos and more diversified. It relaxes me and helps me come out of my shell to be behind that camera, and gives me purpose in living.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would rather talk business with a couple in person so that I can feel their personality, their genuine interest in photography and working with me, their photography needs and how I can provide it to satisfy their goals. If they can see my desire to fulfill their photography needs with passion and genuine interest, that is what I want to do. They can see my work in person, not just on the Internet. I can explain how I did the photos---making adjustments where needed and using enhancements to make it even better for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed courses in Tourism and Hospitality with marketing classes. Being a graduate enables me to use my personality in communicating with families and couples to make their photography event fun, interesting and wonderful. I learn from reading photography books, watching tutorials, experimenting with my camera with all the different metering, etc., talking with other professonal photographers to get ideas of doing things a different way, and seeing a photo taken at an event and making adjustments to make it better. No college courses in photography, just God Given Talent that no one can learn in school. My grandparents were photographers as well as brother, so it runs in the family.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I seek out with a couple their financial stress so that I can help relieve some of it with a breakdown of the total balance with increment payments. If a couple is not working enough to have a big wedding, I can work out an alternative for them in getting the photo albums they want or photos on a DVD without an album, to save them money. I can also provide them a 15% discount, my own printing discount, if they are in hardship. If I have to travel 1 hr and over, I will have to add cost of travel. I offer incentives for couples by passing referrals for photography events for friends and family.
How did you get started in this business?
I started doing special events with my camera, providing a photography gift to my friends who were getting married.
