St. Louis Shaken not Stirred

And I like mine dirty with extra olives… So there was an earthquake.

Fun times I’m tellin ya. Thus being I’ve been up since 4:40 this morning, which while not that much earlier than my alarm rings out – it is earlier than I wanted to be up.
I am well on my way in the photography realm. I’m pulling the peices together one thing at a time. Think I am gonna sell my old kit, put it on craigs list, see how that goes.
Working on pricing lists and wording for the site. Do you have any idea how hard it is to put a price on what you do?!?! Where is the balance between a good honest wage and DAMN ARE YOU CRAZY LADY?!?! I found a web site where the local in our area photographer charges $400 just to come take the photos of your family,… Got more than five people in your family? its an extra thirty bucks person. I was like GET THE &#$$*! OUTTA HERE! I shoulda been doin this YEARS ago.
Do not worry my chicadees, even if I did think I COULD charge 400 bucks per session I don’t think I could. People should be able to afford their memories.

THis is just a drive by posting I shall write again..

Rebecca - “people should be able to afford their memories”

and it’s that level of respect that will endear you to your clients and make you that much better of a photographer.

abunslife - Our favorite photographer that we have used is sooooo reasonable. She only charges like 55 for a sitting fee and that is for the whole family no matter how many people within reason .(I think) At least for our family of 4. She comes to our house or where ever in the stl area without charging extra. And her packages and even ala cart prices are awesome. I wish I had known her when I had my belly shots done when I was pregnant. One lady wanted 500 bucks sitting fee and I had to buy an 8X10 for like $100 minimum.
We didn’t use her…..

motherofbun - Am so very excited for you in your new endeavor! If you ever happen to make up buttons for blogs to advertise your new biz, can I get one? Just a thought…

Hope you guys had fun at Atomic Cowboy!

Andrea - You’re so awesome. Anyone who knows the value of people’s expectations of them is going to be a success.

Lemme know what you decide on for fees. I have recently been going to Portrait Innovations for our family pictures and they’re really reasonable for what I need, but I’d much rather help a friend out if I can afford to do so. I want to get the kids’ pictures taken when Anna’s about 6 months old.
