The most aggravating thing i hear as a PicMe Studio manager is the cheapskate customer that comes to me and says "I was going to go to a professional Photographer but they were too expensive, so I came here." I always have to remind these customers that we are Professional Photographers and that In my studio i Shoot more Sittings in a week than most Private photographers shoot in a month. So by volume alone I have any Private Photographers beat. Not to mention my 7 years of Studio management with every possible sitting situation you could imagine. Not just specializing in weddings or Baby Portraits like some Private studios. Im not some kid right out of college with a new digital camera and the newest version of Photoshop, I have real world experience. No amount of College courses can teach you how to handle a rambunctious screaming 2 year old, or a handi-capped teen, or an autistic 4 year old who's terrified of strangers, or a huge family group who are only there cuz Mom wanted a pic and they are all grumpy. These are the sittings that teach you and no text book can teach patience, empathy and how to anticipate your clients needs in the way that we do. The majority of my customers who walk into my studio thinking it's just a cheap alternative to A "Professional Photographer" Is guaranteed to walk out with a whole new attitude when I Finish their sitting.
