What Does a "Small Shoot" Mean For Me?
I often have people ask me if they can just have a "short session" with a "few files" at a discounted rate....well, no. And here is why...
➡️My overhead cost is the same regardless of how long the session is- insurance, software, equipment, employees, marketing and advertising etc- all that it takes to run a business is the same!
➡️My time prepping, planning, communicating and traveling are the same no matter how long the shoot is- and then there is still my time photographing, culling, editing and meeting with the client after to review the images and walk through the products
So even though you only want to spend 20 minutes in front of the camera and only want "one good family photo" it still costs me the same as an hour shoot with 100 deliverable photos.
