Why custom photography costs more

Something went wrong in the engine room and the ship was stuck in dock. Finally a older gentleman was called in who simply brought in his small tool bag and a hammer.

He set about pinging on various parts of the vast engine with his hammer, finally settling on one area. He spent a few minutes pinging in that area, took out a few tools and fixed whatever what was wrong. The man tipped his hat as he exited the ship to the staff who sat dumbfounded because they had seen all the experts come on board for days with their expensive equipment only to have the ship not fixed. This man did it in a few minutes with a few pings of his hammer!

The accounting department contacted him immediately. A great number of photographers go a very long time from the time that they purchase their first good camera to making money at the business of photography. Many photographers, when first starting out, rush in thinking that the business will be easily profitable in no time, how expensive could it be to get a camera and use it to create their dream?

These photographers often undervalue what they do because they have the realization that they do not have experience or expertise but are very adept at pushing the shutter on the camera. These are prints on archival papers with coatings to provide protection so your prints last a lifetime. They are works of art. I also offer digital collection options, and yes, they are priced higher.

Digital files are the one of the highest priced items because once I sell you the files, I lose all future sales from that session. I need to make sure my time spent on your session leaves me with profit for the long haul.

I know that not everyone can afford my prices. I truly want to offer custom experiences to each of my clients and create heirloom quality works of art that will last a lifetime. I offer high quality, professional portrait sessions for newborns, families, teens and children that are beautiful, yet fun. Good photography is worth the investment, especially when you are putting your trust into the hands of your photographer.

Your baby will only be a newborn and little one once. Interestingly enough - those same studios that offer the loss leader packages often charge much much more for their a la carte pricing vs. A little history - the whole reason the big department stores began offering portrait services in the first place was to get you, the savvy consumer, in through their door so that you could spend more money with them in other departments.

Also keep in mind that when you go to a chain studio, as a consumer, you don't have the benefit of attention for 2 hours at your home where your child is allowed to explore, play and be comfortable in their home environment, nor do you get the experience that many custom photographers are known for as well as the lovely captures of natural expressions.
