A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

A paid family photo session with coordinated outfits... that's so cringe. Nothing against the photographer, money is money, but I will never understand why anyone would desire to do this.
What makes it cringe for you? Aren't all professional pictures (movies, ads, magazines) with coordinated outfits? Isn't that what costume designers do for Movies & TV. They don't make all of it themselves, they often have a collection they choose from or buy.
So it the idea that it is coordinated? Or is it more that what amateurs choose to coordinate on isn't as tasteful as what costume designers would pick?
Yes, we paid for a lifestyle session to capture photos of us with our new baby. Not sure if you understood that “coordinated” and “matching” aren’t the same thing? I thoughtfully selected our outfits in advance to ensure the colors complement each other on camera. Your comment is cringe as it adds absolutely no value to the discussion.
