People see β€œ$550 photoshoot” and think photographers pocket $550 dollars. 🀯

Here’s a realistic breakdown of where that actually goes πŸ‘‡

Client pays: $550

β€’ Put away 25% for taxes
$550 β†’ $412.50

β€’ Payment processing / transaction fee
$412.50 β†’ $395.55

β€’ SD cards (1–2 cards for a session, average cost)
~$65–$130
$395.55 β†’ $330.55–$265.55

β€’ Monthly business expenses split across sessions
(storage, gallery delivery, website, subscriptions, editing software, etc.)
~$50
$330.55–$265.55 β†’ $280.55–$215.55

β€’ Gas + travel to and from session
~$20–$40+ depending on location
$280.55–$215.55 β†’ $260.55–$175.55

And that’s before:

β€’ equipment upgrades/repairs πŸ› 
β€’ camera bodies + lenses πŸ“·
β€’ computer + hard drives πŸ’Ύ
β€’ insurance βœ”οΈ
β€’ props/client closet πŸ‘—
β€’ education πŸ“š
β€’ advertising πŸ“’
β€’ time spent shooting πŸ•‘
β€’ hours of editing πŸ’»
β€’ emailing, planning, culling, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, & a dozen other payless hours πŸ’Έ

Photography is a business, not just β€œshowing up and taking pictures.” I appreciate those who know the iceberg of backwork that goes on behind the scenes. ❀️🫢

Grayson was a freshman when I first picked up a camera & just like that it’s his senior session.

But - he’s not done with baseball yet! He just committed to USC Salkehatchie. Congratulations! ⚾️
