Craigslist & TTD/RTD

Hey girls! I just wanted to make a little suggestion for anyone wanting to do a TTD/RTD session and doesn't want to pay (full price or at all) for it. I posted on Craigslist looking for someone who wanted to portfolio build or do a fun session at little to no cost. And WOW did I get responses (I stopped counting at 26) and got many offers to do free/super cheap shoots. I have since looked again on craigslist and find that people just randomly offer stuff like this, so you might not have to even post anything. So, just a thought if anyone is interested.

So, just a little AW now. Not only did I get one fab photog but 3 professional photogs drove 9+ hours to take these, just to build their portfolios! It was a 2 day shoot and I seriously couldn't believe how much fun these were to take!  I can't wait to see all the pictures. Here are links to the three blogs:

Enjoy!

  • Wow, they're all gorgeous! I'm pretty envious! And by pretty envious, I mean a lot envious. Great tip!

  • OMG Mamie, your TTD pics are some that inspired me to do this! Yours are some of the best I've seen. You looked so beautiful and I loved that your DH made it into some. Big Smile
  • Oh you're too sweet, but yours completely blow mine out of the water (all three sessions!), which is fine because while my session was free, my RTD photog is pretty new.  Yours are just absolutely stunning. Settings, colors, your dress with that birdcage veil!

  • Gorgeous pictures!!!
    Photobucket
  • What a fantastic idea!?These are awesome, you both look incredible and so happy!! ?I love, love, love the boneyard shots.

    Thanks so much for sharing.?

  • Those are all absolutely stunning!  You look gorgeous. 

    What category did you place your "ad" under in craigslist?  When I was looking for a videographer (to pay by the hour) I kept getting flagged and just stopped eventually.  I know I was in the right spot (I asked a few times in the forums - and even the people in the forums had no idea why I was being flagged - and they seem to know all), and felt like I was being targeted by professionals that didn't want to be undercut.

  • Thanks! I am at least 85% sure that I posted under the wanted section. There is tons of random stuff on there. I didn't think anyone was going to write back. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised! Photographers must know to check there or something.

    Good luck and you should have luck being in a big city!
