We all know in today’s day and age everyone has a camera at the tip of their fingers.

Even my six-year-old has a whole album of Instagram pictures. Why would anyone need to spend money on a professional photographer? We all know all they do is push a button, right?

Well... wrong.

There are many reasons why you shouldn't DIY your own heart surgery. But we all own steak knives, don’t we?

Professional photography goes far beyond just pushing a button. I always tell my clients that the session it’s self is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only do professional photographers have professional cameras and professional ($$$) lenses, they also have one of the most important aspects to modern photography, professional editing equipment.

This changes a “shot” into a work of art.

I could ramble on about experience, expertise, lighting, aperture, ISO, but really... you can see for yourself.

I like to play a little game called iPhone VS prophoto:
