As far as the unwanted referrals go.  It’s what happens when you put it all out there that you are a photographer! Especially a photographer for hire.

Ive had too many people to count ask me to take their portraits, and shoot their events based on my photos of me goofing with the kids and my art. lol “hey! Will youshoot our wedding.  We really like your work, and we know you will do a good job.”.  It cracks me up.  So you like my photograph of moss and this makes you think I can shoot your wedding?!  Obviously, they weren’t trying to hire me because of my skill, only my good camera and they thought “hey!  She’ll be cheap!”. No they aren’t mean or trying to be malicious in anyway, but people can and do take advantage, especially if they know nothing about photography and can’t tell the difference between good or bad, or don’t care.  I mean, not everyone lives and breaths photography everyday, and I get that.
