Choosing a photographer

As you know there are plenty of photographers in the area!
But choose one wisely take the time to find the best talent not looking at the price tag.

Don't be OVERCHARGED or UNDERCHARGED (yes,undercharged! Tip your photographer if you think they've done an excellent job!)

Don't be overcharged:
A photographers WORK should match their price! If each image does not match the price accordingly you know you've been overcharged money.

For a great session all around I'm willing to pay ANYTHING as long as each image is dead on and PRINT WORTHY!

You should be totally satisfied with your product provided! Each and every image should match the price you paid and should be print worthy!

As a photographer you should price your work correctly as you grow and develop.

As for us our baseline is $50.00 one hour
Which I believe is great for our product!

I know we are not at the point yet to have extremely AMAZING photos such as Oh So Posh photography and SWANKY5STUDIOS

Until we get to that point there's no way our prices would rise to $150 +

So keep in mind when hunting a photographer prices should match work!

I don't like seeing anyone get jipped.
