Thread: Question about price?

Hi ladies I just have a question and was wondering if any of you could give me some advise?

There is a lady around my area who does wonderful photos. I have hired her 3 times before and all the photo's have turned out great. The first time she contacted me to use my daughter for a shoot for a baby promo. And if I liked the photos I could by the CD for $50 which I did. Then was a sailorette shoot with my daughter and my bestfriends daughter and we also did sibling picture after with my son and daughter. That shoot was $100. So I am just wondering if maybe this offer she has going now is a little pricey for what you get.

She is doing a mini shoot of 20 photos w/CD and copyright privileges and duplicates in various color styles at a wonderful park near by for my family of 4. She is charging $150. Is that too much?

Thanks any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I dont think that's pricey at all, if you getting good quality photo's. Actually i'm surprised she's able make it worth her while charging so little. There is a lot of time put into editing and such.

I sell 1 file a la carte for $75.

I agree 100%. I think that's reasonable. $50 for all of your sessions high quality images is very cheap.

Sounds really cheap to me. I don't see how she is paying her own time for that. I actually question what kind of quality you are getting for that price. Around here session fees alone start at $100 and to get copyrighted images of the whole session on a CD would cost a lot on top of that.

Thanks ladies for your response! Just what I wanted to hear! I didn't think it was too pricey but just wanted to see what others thought that were in that line of job.

Totally agree...it's actually far too cheap.

My hubby ould KILL me if I gave away my time for that cheap...and I'm not that good.

way too cheap - if she's a pro, she's digging herself in to a hole! I charge $500 for that many high res files or $200 for low res, on top of the session fee.
