Is your entire office/company in need of headshots? Whether it’s been a while since everyone updated their staff photos, or you’ve added new members to the team, I offer a great package to meet your needs. One of the styles is a simple monotone backdrop with professional lighting which allows for clean, high resolution images that can easily have the background removed and swapped out for the color of your choice. This works great for website management and marketing to match your company logo! Contact me today to learn more!

For all my solo-preneuers who are a team of 1 and want to refresh their professional image, the headshots session is a great one to book! This is also excellent for members of a social/educational community who love their tribe and want to represent their pride (such as fraternities, nonprofit members, etc.)

This morning as I packed up my car to head to work at 7AM, God made me smile. Even though the rain was getting in my face making it hard to see what I was doing, I took a second and looked up to find the most beautiful pink rainbow 🌈 How can we deny our creator when his miracles are all around us? I’m so grateful to be living this life right now, right here. This life is full of love, challenges, beauty, pain, success, struggle, and the promise that our souls will move on to eternity. Thank you Jesus for both the rain and the sunshine 🌦️

P.S. disregard the mannequin in the trunk, artists are weird! 🤪

🗞 What a great read! Pricing and fees don’t always equal profit, my friends. The best way to support entrepreneurs is by not asking for discounts 👏 Share with your photography friends to make them smile 😊

——📸 This morning a local was asking for “cheap photographer” recommendations. An amazing photographer in the area replied with this statement. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than this:::

“I want to break down a $300 family photo session for you. (I don’t charge $300, my portraits are priced much higher than that .. but for the sake of the example we’ll go with $300, because that seems to be the average of what a lot of photogs charge in this area)

- Shoot takes 1 hour
- Drive time is 1 hour (assuming the distance is only thirty minutes to and from the location) Also not including traffic.
- Editing time 3-5 hours (5 if you’re delivering a retouched quality product)
- Time it took to book the client (typically several detailed emails or a 30 minute phone call)

We’re up to 7.5 hours

Minus $33 for gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

$267 / 7.5 hours = $35.60 per hour

Now wait, we haven’t added in the cost of running a photography business which on average is about $10,000 (that’s bare bones: insurance, proofing galleries, supplies, crm, equipment maintenance, etc). Mine is closer to $20,000 but that’s because I have a studio.

This also doesn’t take into account the years and years a photographer has spent honing their craft. It’s a skilled job (art!) that is often underpaid.

This ALSO doesn’t include if the photographer wants to put savings away for an emergency or ::gasp::: retirement 🤦‍♀️

A photographer charging a $300 session fee would have to shoot 150 sessions to make $30,000 ($267 x 150 shoots - Basic $10k in expenses).

But wait, they haven’t paid income taxes yet….

You get the picture (no pun intended).

That’s not even a living wage. So if you’re a client (or a photographer) and you’ve actually spent the time to read this, $300 for a session is not a living wage. ❤️ “

Happy Fall Y’all 🍁🌾🍂 The reason I’ve been MIA lately: God has blessed me with a son! Thank you for all the love sent our way 🙏💝 Enjoying the latest addition to my family 🥰

Sometimes… photography isn’t about pleasing a client.

Sometimes… it’s about preserving culture and tradition.

One day, when my daughter is fussing about her image and putting her hair up in rollers, I’ll show her this picture of the first time she “did her hair” with her great grandmother at the age of 3. Family is what it’s all about, folks! 👵🏻👧🏻💝

Out of every 10 photos taken during a session with children, 7 are absolutely silly 😜 That’s why you snap 200 and deliver 15 great ones! I love working with kiddos 📸
