All-Inclusive Session Pricing
When choosing a photographer, it can be tempting to go for those who advertise lower session prices at first. However, this approach may lead to higher costs later if you want access to all your images. I offer All-Inclusive session packages, ensuring that there are no unexpected fees or additional charges when it's time to receive ALL of your images from your session. My clients will receive ALL the photos from their session instead of just a limited selection. Working with a photographer who provides only a few images upfront could mean missing out on treasured moments that are not included in that limited set, potentially resulting in more expenses later on.

While a lower price for a photography session can be tempting, it's crucial to consider the potential for hidden costs and compromises in quality that can end up making the overall experience much more expensive and disappointing in the long run. Here's a breakdown of why "cheaper" isn't always better and what to watch out for:
Potential Hidden Costs and Issues with "Cheap" Photography:
Potential Hidden Costs and Issues with "Cheap" Photography:
- Limited Prints/Digital Images: The initial price might cover only a very small number of prints or low-resolution digital images. Want more? Expect to pay a premium, sometimes even more than if you'd gone with a slightly more expensive photographer upfront.
- Retouching Fees: Basic retouching might be included, but more extensive edits (like blemish removal, background changes, etc.) can incur extra charges, quickly adding up.
- Copyright Restrictions: Some photographers retain full copyright and charge exorbitant fees for you to even share the images online or print them yourself. Clarify copyright usage before you book.
- Travel Fees: "Cheap" photographers might try to make up for lower session fees by charging high rates for travel, even within a reasonable distance.
- Low-Quality Prints/Products: The photographer might use cheaper labs for printing, resulting in poor color reproduction, fading, or low-quality materials. This can ruin your memories.
- Lack of Experience/Professionalism: A very low price can be a red flag that the photographer is inexperienced, lacking in technical skills, or unprofessional in their business practices. This can lead to poor communication, missed shots, and a generally stressful experience.
- Hidden "Upselling": The photographer may pressure you into buying expensive add-ons like albums, canvases, or other products you don't really want.
- Time Commitment: A "cheap" photographer might be less organized, leading to longer wait times for your photos, or they might be less responsive to your inquiries. Your time is valuable!
- Portfolio Quality: Does the photographer have an extensive portfolio? Are the images well-composed, properly exposed, and emotionally resonant? Does the photographer's style match what you're looking for?
- Clear Pricing Structure: Get a detailed price list upfront that outlines everything included and any potential extra costs.
- Client Reviews/Testimonials: See what other clients have said about their experience with the photographer.
- Contract/Agreement: A professional photographer will have a contract that clearly outlines the services provided, payment terms, cancellation policies, and copyright usage.
- Communication and Professionalism: Is the photographer responsive, friendly, and willing to answer your questions? Do they seem organized and reliable?
- Experience and Specialization: If you're looking for a specific type of photography (e.g., wedding, newborn, portrait), choose a photographer with experience in that area.
