The people in that market aren't looking for "Professional Photography" such as weddings or outdoor family portraits. The people who are going to "on the side photographers" are looking for the weddings and family portraits. Those people would be in my market if the "on the side photographers" weren't out there selling, sometimes substandard products, always at substandard prices. This is killing the market place with artifically low prices.

I couldn't agree more. There are plenty of people that still believe that you get what you pay for. My customers expect the best and will pay for it. All of you should have your customers thinking that way.
