Why should you hire Land of Wild Designs Photography to be your
portrait photographer? Lately, I have been seeing a lot of photo-shoots
with someone taking Senior Portraits with a cell phone. It is actually
pretty common. Yes, cell phones these days do capture beautiful
photos, they really do - but let me take a moment of your time to
explain to you why I think it is worthwhile to hire a professional
photographer, and more specifically - - - me.
These photos are a rarely seen glimpse behind the scenes of one of
our photo-sessions. We don't often post unedited images, but I wanted to
let you know that part of the experience with a professional
photographer is the final image. The way they are in the camera isn’t
always the way they end up in print. As we move from area to area
during a photo-session, the light changes, color-casts happen due to
surrounding vegetation or objects, or other variables may come into
play. We are doing regular adjustments to the camera settings in the
effort to get the photo as perfect as possible in camera during the
photo-shoot, but occasionally, we move so fast with ideas and
inspirations that we just shoot first and look second. It is generally
when we get the photos offloaded from the camera and onto the computer
that we notice some of the details that need attention, such as an
incorrect crop, or color balance or contrast that isn’t exactly what we
want . . . so that is why every image that you get has been individually
reviewed and enhanced with our professional editing software. It is
because we want the images we provide to you be end up in a frame.
Don’t get us wrong, keep taking those cell phone photos – please make
sure that you document life in your own creative way, but keep us in
mind for the professional portraits that will last a lifetime. Sadly
those cell phone images won’t print in the quality you hope and they end
up looking so different in print than they look digitally on your
device, and that can be disappointing.
Our images are individually edited, then sized specifically to be
printed professionally to retain the resolution you are seeing on your
computer or phone when you view your gallery. We are selling more than
just a digital image. Land of Wild Designs provides an experience, we
also provide very careful edits and we capture more than just the photo,
we capture the emotion – the feeling.

With a simple crop and rotate, the photo looks completely different. On
this image, we edited the background in a different style than we
edited her skin & clothing so the contrast was wonderful - it really
pops!
