Good Change and Bad Change
2010 is upon us. The Professional photography industry has undergone tremendous change in the last decade. Some of it is good and a lot of it not so good. Where we go in the next decade will be interesting to see. Digital photography has literally changed the landscape of professional and amateur photography. The ability to take images at will with no cost of film and processing opened up photography to the masses. Photo-sharing on the internet and facebook has changed the way people view photography. In many ways this has devalued the perception of photography's worth. And at the same time, good professional portraits are just as valuable today as ever. All the technology in the world simply cannot replace talent. All the technology available to people today cannot replace experience. It is very easy to just say...oh well, I can do this myself...or we can get so and so because they are really cheap and they have a decent camera. That response could be one of the biggest mistakes anyone could make in getting good photography. A camera is only as good as the person operating it. That person must have talent, a creative vision, experience, the ability to consistently repeat good results...etc. Those kind of people are rare in the world of professional photography today. I have heard it said before: If you can't afford to do it right the first time, can you afford to do it over? Good professional photographers have a track record. This is more important than the latest camera or computer. So, consider this when you are making photography decisions.
Talent and experience rank very high in importance but there is one more thing that enters into the mix that is equally important: Customer Service and Satisfaction. The professionals that you choose to work with should care about you. We have always made it a priority to be very aware of our clients needs...both professionally and personally. By this, I mean that we care about our clients as people and whatever is going on in their lives. You won't get this kind of service everywhere you go.
If you have never experienced the level of professionalism we offer here at McCoy's, I invite you to give us a call, stop in and talk with us for awhile. You will find that we can truly deliver the goods and you might gain some new friends in the process at the same time.
