When the client says another photographer is giving them a huge discount

When a guest keeps trying to “gear chat” with the clearly busy videographer

When I tell the guys to stop “crotch covering” and put their hands in their pockets

I always follow with “trust me, guys, you have nothing to be ashamed of, right!?” lol

MRW my second and I are splitting to do each side of the bridal party portraits (and we only have 10 minutes)

When I wrongly assume my batteries were fully charged from last time

It’s like driving while the fuel light is on… through a whole portrait session.

When the couple apparently knows professional dancers

When my shooting shoe’s sole separates at a wedding

Sharing stories at the local industry meetup

When an inquiry asking for prices lets slip they’re actually another photographer

Don’t do “market research” in shady ways, people. Network. We’re in this together.

When I see a guest from a wedding months later

I once saw the groom from a wedding I second shot at the grocery store and could not figure it out for 20 minutes. -C

PS- the wedding was not at the grocery store, obviously
