I Learned My Lesson...

Here’s a photograph I captured at one of my first paid wedding gigs back in 1996.

I remember packing my bag the night before with 3 times more film than was necessary, a back-up camera for my back-up camera and the all important “shot list” - which was provided by my portraiture teacher the previous year.

Within the first few months of photographing weddings professionally, I continued to apply what I had learned in school, but I also learned two very valuable lessons that only real world experience could teach me... A full camera bag weighs about as much as a pot bellied pig after 6 hours on your feet, and in order to succeed you need to be flexible, alert and most importantly – open to learning from your clients! If I had my head buried in a shot list (which admittedly I did for the first few gigs) I would lose opportunities to capture amazing images.

Fast forward to this week where I’ve learned, through some really cool interactions with VSM Members, that I’ve buried my head in the VSM User Manual! The manual clearly outlines what to do and how to do it, but I now see that its not as flexible and easy to access as it could be. As a result, I’ve launched a Support Center, where you can find information for specific forms, functions & features and quickly get the answers.

Now that my head is no longer buried, I will continue to update the Support Center with frequently asked questions, new feature updates and trouble-shooting tips. You can check it out here.

I'd like to quickly thank Chad, Rosie, Cindy, Cheryl and Michael. Thanks for your great attitudes, feedback and for being part of the VSM Community!
