People see a $300 photoshoot and think photographers are taking home $300 in profit… and I promise that’s not reality 🥹
What most people don’t see is everything that goes on behind the scenes of running a photography business.
A session payment doesn’t just go into my pocket. It goes toward:
✨ gallery delivery + website fees
✨ editing software subscriptions
✨ SD cards + hard drives
✨ camera bodies + lenses
✨ props + setups
✨ fuel/travel
✨ insurance
✨ advertising
✨ continuing education
✨ equipment maintenance/upgrades
And then there’s the biggest thing of all … time.
The actual session is only a tiny portion of the job.
There’s hours spent planning, communicating, culling galleries, hand editing images, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, answering messages/emails, ordering props, cleaning the studio, and so much more that nobody really sees.
Photography is so much more than “just taking pictures.” It’s a full business, a creative service, and honestly a huge labor of love. 🤍
I completely understand that professional photography isn’t in everyone’s budget, and that’s okay!
But I’ll always be thankful for the clients who value the work, time, and heart that goes into creating these memories. 🫶
We Try our very Best to keep Costs low to ensure everyone has access to something that should be accessible to all. However Please bear in mind that a 30min session is actually 5-10 hours from first talking to the customer to gallery delivery.
Gallery timeframes are dependent on images delivered. And can take 3 days to 10 days to edit and complete.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR LOVELY CLIENTS! We hope continue serving the region with care and support!
