If any of this sounds familiar, don't worry... you're not alone.  These are common quotes among many new and hobbyist photographers.

These are even some of the same things I would say when I purchased my first camera. But over the years I've learned that the key to over coming these challenges is EDUCATION! 

Knowledge is one thing that will serve you forever, and the best part is that once you have it, no one can take it from you.  

So I've compiled all of my knowledge as a full-time wedding & portrait photographer, and packaged it into a convenient video course designed to help you...
