I am a professional photographer and whilst I do photography as a living... I also do it for the love of it! I have been a photographer for over 12 years ranging from newborn- weddings and all in between.
I believe in giving my clients what they want... Which is great quality for a reasonable price. I know people are struggling out there but know the importance of professional sessions.
My prices range from $30-> for prints but I tend to offer USB with high res digital images for $300->
I believe that good quality + great service = referrals which is priceless! You can't pay for that! If prefer to do 20 sessions at $500 each than 1 or 2 for $1000's+
That doesn't make me unprofessional... It just means I value my clients!
