In this digital age where everyone has cameras, scanners, and home "photo printers," we hear this all the time: How do professional (or personal) photographers charge $X for an 8x10 when they cost just $1.50 at the drugstore? Simply put, the customer is not just paying for the actual photograph; they're paying for time and expertise.
Joe Mirenzi has been "shooting" photography since 1977 and photographed weddings and on location portrait sessions in Pittsburgh, Pa. with his film 35mm. Now, in 2010, Joe is completely digittal with a Nikon D300 and many on location photographic accessories to compliment his shooting style and to make your photograph "one of a kind." He attends several Nikon and lab workshops yearly to make sure he give you the best in digital imaging.
His event portfolio includes the SPCA of Luzerne County, the Girl Scount Council in Mountain Top, the Crestwood HS Band, St. Mary Youth Group Holiday Santa Photos, Barbizon School of Modeling, the Luzerne County Historical Society, St. Roberts Mens Club golf tournament, and many private parties and events.
Professional, personal photographers are just that-professionals. No different than a mechanic, dentist, doctor, or electrician. But a personal photographer often becomes a friend, someone who documents a family for generations with professional, personal photographs of cherished memories.
