Photography is a service, and a personal one at that. Your clients are letting you into their lives, and trusting you with some pretty big moments. The more you can give them reason to feel comfortable with hiring you, the better.

And, of course, it lets them see your latest and greatest work!When you are just getting started (as in, during you first 5 – 10 years as a shooter) you are probably going to be improving your work at a very rapid rate. Portfolio sites have a tendency to get stagnant, and many photographers neglect to update them regularly. A blog ensures that prospective clients are seeing your newest (and likely best) images. That ensures that they are familiar with your current shooting style, which also has a tendency to evolve!

As a photographer you need to learn about light. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or a professional – light is the most important thing in your photography. Think about it without light, your photos simply wouldn’t exist! In fact, photography literally means “drawing with light”.  
It’s no secret that light is essential to photography, and so it’s no big surprise that learning about it will help you improve.

This is what I hear from beginner (and not-so-beginner) photographers all the time: “I really want to take amazing, creative photos. But working this camera is so complicated!”

And I get it. There are all these buttons, numbers, and terms that it can be overwhelming. Or at least it seems that way, right?
