Why does a family photography session cost $547?
It’s a question I completely understand and one I think many photographers wish more people asked openly.
When you book the Heirloom Family Collection with me for $547, I promise you’re not simply paying for “a few photos” and it’s definitely not a $547 profit.
Behind every session is so much more than what you see on the surface.
Your investment helps cover things like:
• Professional cameras & lenses
• Editing software subscriptions
• Website & online gallery delivery systems
• Client management systems
• Insurance & business expenses
• Props, wraps, outfits & studio pieces
• Packaging & stationery
• Advertising & marketing
• Education & ongoing training
• Taxes & business fees
• Studio utilities & upkeep
And that only just scratches the surface.
Then there’s the time that goes into your experience…
✨ Planning your session
✨ Communicating with you beforehand
✨ Preparing the studio or location
✨ The actual session time itself
✨ Carefully culling through hundreds of images to select the very best moments
✨ Hand-editing and perfecting every image in your gallery
✨ Uploading & delivering your final images
✨ Creating a warm, relaxed experience for your family from beginning to end
I always do my absolute best to keep my pricing as affordable and accessible as possible, while still ensuring I’m covering the costs involved, along with the time, care and love I pour into each and every family I work with.
What you’re truly investing in is not just photos — it’s years of learning, experience, creativity, equipment, patience, and a heartfelt experience designed especially for your family.
As a small business owner, every booking genuinely supports my little dream and allows me to continue doing what I absolutely love; capturing the people and moments that matter most.
And for that, I’m so incredibly grateful 🫶🏼
If you made it this far, thank you for supporting small business.
