Photographer family photo you’re looking for near Ashburn VA can lead you to this studio photographer!

Well, I wish I could put into words how totally thrilled Joriana was when she ran screaming, dancing, and just generally having what my momma would call a conniption when she got invited to join WPJA.
David Roberts even sent her a personal note about her work — how kewl is that?

Their members represent the most discriminating talent around the world technically, creatively and visually.

That she got invited is awesome, but that she is 19 is well…one of my proudest moments as a mother! Congratulations, Joriana, on this wonderful achievement!

Portrait Studio | Clifton VA | Family portrait photographer near me| Are you stealing from your photographer?

If you’re looking for a family portrait photographer near me, Clifton VA then you’ve come to the right portrait studio!

Reading a friend who is a photographer’s blog recently, I came across her post below and I just had to share it — you see, this is a very personal issue to me, too:

“I came across this blog post that I wanted to share. A woman admits to stealing from her photographer by scanning photos instead of paying for them. She felt guilty yet continues to do it because she feels entitled to “more than what she paid for. The original article has been removed because the website doesn’t want to advocate it. But in comment #45 is a link to her original posting.

As a photographer this is very personal to me and it’s frustrating to read the views of consumers who don’t understand the business. Other photographers have posted our point of view. I understand (yet disagree) with some of the consumers point of views. Hopefully some of them will read the photographers’ responses and understand that point of view.”
