| My husband loves photography, and he is very good at it. I will be involved in my commemcement ceremony in May of 2010.
Even though my husband is great at photography, how do I ask him, without hurting him, for professional graduation pictures? I want a few pofessional graduation pictures, and then let my husband, Jason, take the reins and have fun with his and his friends' cameras. I even have this idea for a fun shot of me buried under paperwork with cap and gown, which would be something Jason would love to shoot. (My degree is in accounting)
How can I get professional pictures done without hurting Jason's feelings? |

I would just be honest with him. But it's one of those choose your battles, which is more important? Professional pictures, or sparing his feelings. I know my husband would want the honesty!

Sorry for not responding sooner.
If your husband is very good at photography, then why would you go with a professional? Or is he not at a professional level? Maybe they're might be no difference from him taking the pictures and a company taking pictures. Do you think since the company is established in professional photography, that you trust them more? I am not saying these things to prove you wrong, I'm just hoping that these questions will help you choose to do what you know is best.
And I agree with busywifenmom. Be honest with him. If he's your husband, then being honest is something you want to do, and will do.
How do you ask him without hurting his feelings?
Ask him how he would feel about a professional taking some of the pictures. See what he says. Then work it out from there. You are being honest here. Now, its up to him to respond with love.
It might not go so perfect like how I have stated, but always remember to love each other always.
(Its easy to love after a flowers and a nice dinner, how about during a disagreement? I think this is where it really counts.)
I love photography by the way, but I suck at taking good pictures. Practice makes perfect .
As I say always, I'm 21...a kid...don't take my word for it as the truth. This is how I would want things done. I hope God is speaking through me. |

There is no such thing as a coincidence in God! Today I do go and get the professional pix done, thanks to other replies. My hubby is excellent, but he needs a better camera to be able to take portrait quality shots. He is not a professional, by far, but he is talented. We worked out a deal between us. I get these done, and he will borrow a friend's camera and go all out taking pictures when he has the time available. Another friend has asked him if he would be upset if she took pictures too. Because of the quality of our camera, he has said that will be fine.
You asked if I trust the company more. No. The reason I wanted professionals is strictly for the higher quality cameras that they have. I have learned after 13 years with my husband that he is one of a few in the world I can trust to the utmost degree. I anymore trust him more than my mother, and I know that is not often said.
Thanks for your help. And though you are only 21, just a kid , you were right on track.
He was not too dissappointed, when I asked him. I told him I wanted him to take most of the pictures, borrowing our video crew chief's camera if need be, but I would like one or two professional pictures done. In discusing it, the package we are contemplating would be cheaper than him taking all and us printing them out or having aomeone do so for us.
Thank you to all of you for your help. I appreciate it! |
