this is dumb. not just anyone should be able to pick up any camera take pictures and call in photography, especially when you don’t know the terminology. I mean BBB? Blurry background button? wow. For someone who doesn’t know what depth of field or the ISO shouldn’t be a photographer or making $1000 from pictures you took with a crappy camera and edited with iPhoto. This will take away business from actual photographers who actually know what they’re doing.

you forgot that iphoto is not a subscription service not just an app that you buy once.

You have missed a mayor point here Dee knows nothing about technical photography, if she doesn't know what iso is, it's about technology and that technology will be availabe to everyone for an affordable price, Samantha has the imac G10 with it's built in software … then why is D even needed? One of her friends, father, mother,uncle, can shoot the same pictures with that 799.00 camera and the technology takes care of the rest…..

Indeed it’s the passion and the commitment and I think this part is fairly relevant for her success: “For the first 30 minutes they just hang out at the local soda shoppe chatting away…..”

Yes, I think it’s great that technology advances!

Thanks for this article, Ron!

@klick – Love this comment. I commend you for making it. I know it must be a hard thing to admit. Bravo for you. I think there are more of you out there than you think, but are afraid they’ll get eaten alive. It’s okay to be in your position. As you so notably pointed out, it’s the talent that counts. Even Dave Wittig admitted that given him brownie and he’ll take a better photo than a novice with a 5D. As you’ve said, it’s the passion and commitment.

Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the great work.

@carl – FINALLY. Someone who recognizes that this is a bright future indeed. 🙂

@KlickK

Thanks for the sharing the info …

What I’d like to know is this (if you’re willing to share): what were you charging for weddings when you started? 6 moths later? 2 years later? Now?

Keep it up …
