Let me start by telling you a true story.
Important... Please take a few moments to read the ENTIRE story - This could happen to you!
Cindy’s friend Abby wanted to go to the studio that photographed Cindy’s senior portraits. Abby loved the variety of backgrounds and sets, both inside and outside. The poses were fantastic! Cindy told her friend about how much fun the session was and that she left feeling like a model.
Abby’s mother had not yet made an appointment. She was visiting with a friend about how excited Abby was to have her photos taken. The friend with a camera told Abby’s mother she had done a few senior photos and could save her money.
So what does Abby’s mother do??? She has the friend take Abby’s photos against her wishes.
The photos were terrible, but Abby’s mother didn’t want to hurt the feelings of her friend, so she bought photos and put one on her wall. No that she hates w Abby can come home for the next twenty years and look at her senior photo that she hates up on the wall ……
All to save a few dollars.
Let’s suppose Abby has low self-esteem. She thinks that she is a loser.
The person with the camera (hobby photographer) doesn’t know how to light and pose her. With her bad techniques and poor photos she has just reaffirmed to Abby that she is a loser...
