Looking for someone to photograph this Saturday at

Looking for someone to photograph this Saturday at Tauranga/Papamoa. Can be family or portraits, I have a new process and I need to give it a test run... hope you can help, message me!

Photography insight: I don't generally follow loca

Photography insight: I don't generally follow local photographers but now and then I do a quick survey to see what's happening with businesses in my industry... here's what I noticed. Family photographers almost always have pricing on their sites, commercial photographers don't and you need to ask for it. There are not really anyone doing portrait or creative photography for money... true story?? Most commercial photography is edited in a clean accurate style. Family photography was split almost 50/50 between clean edits, and that moody brown look that was trendy, esp in newborn photography. I felt, a decent amount of work was average or indistinguishable from each other. I expect that in commercial work but, while some family stuff was beautiful, it was also exactly the same as half a dozen other people.. maybe they did the same course or follow the same people?
There were a couple of exceptions, but that pretty much is the trends in Hamilton. I feel like there are some big obvious gaps in the market, like compared to what I see overseas I was going "where is the person doing X that seems really popular in other places??"
