HOT TAKE: Most photographers are underpaid, not overpriced. 👀
Photographers don’t make $300 an hour.
We make $300 per session… then spend hours planning, communicating with clients, driving, shooting, editing, delivering galleries, paying taxes, replacing gear, paying subscriptions, and running an entire business behind the scenes.
That ‘1 hour session’ is usually 5–7 hours of actual work.
After taxes and business expenses? That $300 becomes a whole lot less glamorous real quick. 😂
You’re not paying for someone to click a button for an hour.
You’re paying for experience, artistry, consistency, expensive equipment, and memories you can keep forever. ❤️
