Here are some of my favorite Fauxtogs:

These are so called Professional Photographers who advertise their services at local bridal shows: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.228430730533532.55336.196624087047530&type=3

This one has been in business in my area for years and charges a huge amount of money for someone who thinks this is a good photo: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=153317968032443&set=a.153291151368458.30026.144301418934098&type=3&theater

This is the worst one of theirs and even though it is from 2010 and horrible, they still use it today on all of their marketing materials http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=153355991361974&set=pb.144301418934098.-2207520000.1359138638&type=3&theater

Yes unfortunately you are a fauxtog and yes please stop charging until you get your work to a level you can be proud of.  It can not only  hurt you by getting a reputation for bad quality work, but can also hurt other photographers in your area by charging to low for something you may want to make a living off of in the future.  I recommend contacting some other photographers who’s work you like and offering to shadow them or intern for them for free. Also shooting any one you can at the same time. Experience, learning your camera, and learning how to edit is what will make you a photographer.
