People see a $200photoshoot and think photographers are taking home $200 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:
✨ taxes
✨ gallery delivery + website fees
✨ editing software subscriptions
✨ SD cards + hard drives
✨ camera bodies + lenses
✨ props + setups
✨ gas/travel
✨ 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, answering messages/emails, ordering props, 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 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. 🫶

I just want to make a quick PSA, the outfits you choose for your photos can make or break how your shoot turns out, that being said, I am more than happy to give guidance on color schemes/what to wear for a shoot, when everyone comes wearing different patterns (or even all the same pattern but different colors... YIKES 😬 🫣) or clashing colors it makes not only editing VERY challenging but also posing, so PLEASE if you have questions or concerns on what to wear, REACH OUT to me.

Had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family yesterday 😍❤️
