How much do you charge for a photoshoot?

I'm always being asked "How much do you charge for a photoshoot?" so this blog is to answer that. When I shoot I put in a lot time before and after the shoot to make sure every photo I put out makes people stop to feel the emotion in what they are viewing. When I give my cost to people I get one of two reactions, either they think its to much or they understand that putting a cost on memories is priceless. I'm not the cheapest nor the most expensive but this is my job.

For family portraits I start at $300. For the basic package you'll receive a shoot on location for up to a hour. I'll take a group photo which will be an 8x10 print and several individuals of each member (up to five people) that'll be a 4x6 print.

For automotive shoots I charge $200 for up to two hours. With autos though I let the owner pick one photo that he/she likes and I'll have an 11x14 printed. All other photos will be listed on my website to purchase in any size.

For events I charge $75hr. All the photos will be on my website to purchase.

For modeling shoots packages start at $250. We will need to discuss the shoot style/ideas to confirm a final price.

All the photos from your shoot will be listed on my website for three months to purchase extra copies in other sizes.

If you would like to post your photos online I also will resize them to be web ready and place my logo on the bottom corner for an extra $35. I'll then give you a password to download them from your album on my website.

If I travel more than 35 miles outside of Forsyth I add on an extra fee to cover my expenses
