Custom Photography is something “special”
Custom photography is more of a luxury than your entry level cookie cutter chain experience. Custom photography is not for everyone. It requires a level of commitment, investment in time and money, forethought and planning on the part of the client. It also requires a larger time commitment for the photographer as well.
Custom photography is just that: custom. It is based on being unique to you. Your session is customized to you, your family, your life, your environment, your needs, and your wants. No two sessions are ever just alike; nor are your final images. When you invest in custom photography, the portrait art you receive will never be mass produced, but rather is a direct reflection of your life at this moment.
The photographic art you choose to place on your wall is ultimately the result of the vision of the photographer. This vision, coupled with the environment, the lighting, your attire, and even the your mood at the time of the session, creates the work that you will want to proudly display on your walls.
Custom photography is more of a luxury than your entry level cookie cutter chain experience. However, it is not for everyone. It requires a level of commitment, investment of time and money, forethought and planning on the part of the client and requires a larger time commitment for the photographer as well.
There is a great deal of time involved in creating high end custom photography sessions for a client, resulting in the luxury of great service, better choices and a superb end product: heirloom quality images.
Custom photography has been likened to purchasing a fine vehicle. To merely get from point A to point B, any vehicle will do. If, however, you want to ride in a finely appointed vehicle, customizing your own experience by listening to smooth jazz while sitting in a climate controlled setting adjusted solely for your comfort in a body hugging leather interior, perhaps a luxury vehicle is more your cup of tea. The same can be said of custom photography. IT is your Lexus.
Remember that your Lexus will never appreciate in value the way your portraits will. Your investment in custom photography will no doubt increase in value and become more priceless as the years pass.
