Portrait Photographer cost in HAMPTON ROADS
I’ve done a little bit of research and a Portrait Photographer cost in HAMPTON ROADS will vary between $400 and $1000. Along with that fee you may get a print credit or a photo album but all the fluff is not important. Keep in mind that professional photography is a luxury service and so it should be. Bottom line, what you pay for should match your experience. Professional photos aren’t for everyone but when you do decide to have pictures taken, you can certainly find someone within your budget.
The hardest part about starting a business is picking your prices point. Equipment is expensive, the monthly fees for image storage, photo editing software, and online marketing can add up and starting up a business is gonna set you back a few thousand. The countless hours spent in front of the computer setting up client management software along with image storage. All while trying to bring in clients. It’s tough and I get why some photographers give up. I understand the complication from both sides of the camera but the one thing I can tell you is the term struggling artist is FOR REAL!
