I've done 4 weddings. All started at $2,000

Computers are an upfront $50 for diagnostics and $40 per hour to resolve issues. Any software/hardware is bought by the person for me to work with.

Cell Phone fixes are variable

Car maintenance is pendant on if the person wants to learn how to change oil and a tire or not.

I don't do that much editing, maybe a day's worth or so depending on how many photos were taken. You either like my style or you don't lol. My family just always asks me because I have a DSLR and no one else does.

While we are here, anyone want to buy a 20x30 canvas print of Austin, TX?

Not yet. Money is pretty tight this month and my only "free" check is going towards a trip to the Texas coast for a day.

I'm the lead photographer for the upcoming World Series of Bocce in my city. That'll be $5,000 with all teams edited. All other shots are stock. If teams want personalized shots, it'll be $150.

But for all that money, they've hired a guy with top quality dslr's and lenses. A DJI Phantom 2 drone with GoPro 4 for aerial shots. Enough backdrops and lighting to blind Mr. madwi, and portable laptop/printer equipment for quick edits on the spot. And I may outsource a secondary photographer to help with the load of it all.

Heck no. I only have a stock lens and the nifty fifty prime. Had to sell my speedlite a few months ago. :/

I've been wanting an 85mm prime for when Dominic is born and because there are two weddings in my family next year.

I love my 85mm. Stand 50 feet back and get a face shot. haha. Why not just get a 24-70 or 24-120mm? Great all around walking lens. The 50mm is nice, but you'll start to see why even a 40mm lens is better in terms of bokeh and cropping.

The 50mm is cheaper though lol. It was a birthday gift from my mom.

I'd look into the 10-20mm also. Sigma and Rokinon make fantastic models. I rented a 14mm before. Wasn't astounded by it considering you're using a lens like that for wide shots. The bokeh was phenominal, but felt out of place considering it's for full detail to begin with. And look into a macro conversion kit. My buddy actually prefers my kit over his macro lenses. Far more adjustable. It's funny hooking one up to a 400mm. This is what I have.

Are you going to take advantage of the "push" party fad? You should since the gifts are for you and not the kid lol
