Yea, I think a lot of it is learning what works best for you as you go. I am finding that a good photo really gets shown off though and word of mouth travels fast so you better put your best out there. However that senior I gave more than I should have to, has gotten me another senior shoot and a wedding, so I can't really complain about that.

Now for the wedding, that's a different story, the portraits, those will go through more tough weeding out, but the snapshots of the event, well those are different, I think people expect nicely lit/ exposed caputre the moment snapshots. So I'll just watch my composition and lighting and try to capture feeling and expression in them and that will be adequate I think. My brides words were "I'd just like some nice pictures to remember the day by" I think that sums it up!
