Client: โDo you offer cheaper sessions?โ ๐ฅน
Me, staring at the checkout total for ONE memory card: ๐๐
Itโs honestly funny because people see a photoshoot as:
โJust taking pictures.โ
But photographers see:
๐ธ camera gear worth a small car payment
๐ป editing for hours after the shoot
๐ hard drives stacked with backups
โก SD cards that cost way too much for something the size of a cracker
๐ตโ๐ซ constant paranoia about protecting peopleโs memories
That tiny little card carries everything.
Your wedding day.
Your baby photos.
Your graduation.
Your parents smiling together.
The moments you canโt recreate.
And somehow that tiny rectangle of plastic costs more than my own groceries for the week ๐
Photography isnโt expensive because photographers are trying to scam people.
Itโs expensive because this industry eats money for breakfast ๐ญ๐ท
