Expensive is a word I don’t love to use (especially when it comes to my photography business). To me, it has a negative connotation that the products and services received are overpriced and therefore not worth the cost. (Two statements that keep me up at night).
HOWEVER, photoshoots ARE an investment. And there are many misconceptions and preconceived notions surrounding the cost associated with them.
(So, I thought I’d say ‘hold my beer’ and I’m diving into the deep end at an attempt to give y’all more information as to what all goes into a shoot.)
“Why are photoshoots sooooo expensive”, you may ask.
Let’s break it down together!
#1 (Good) Planning takes time.
You may think I show up to a photoshoot with a camera and capture for an hour or two but what is really going on behind the scenes is that I’m…
1. Coordinating with venues and connecting with vendors to ensure availability
2. Scouting locations to get an idea of the space and brainstorming poses that not only fits within the area but makes sense for the couple (more on this later) *2.1 and sometimes even visiting at different times of the day to better understand how the light is effected)
3. Keeping lines of communication with all clients (new and veteran) open throughout the process. This gives me the full picture of your vision and hopefully puts you at ease throughout it all.
Ultimately, we are working to make sure your vision comes to life. Ready to get started? Head over to the link in the bio to submit an inquiry today!
