This is the most important question a client can ask. The reasons are many. The first question most people ask is how much do you cost.
Cost vs. price. If you look for the best or least expensive price then it may "COST" you more than the original price. My prices are fair and reflect many things:
The seven years of photography school that I have invested in my creative photos, my professional portrait photography is about you not me. My job is to capture you to look your best.
The 8 top level camera lens, not low end or mid range lens but top cabin glass that takes a better photo.
I bring four cameras to a shoot. Why four? Cameras break. If as most photographers use one camera they are changing their lens or worse yet they do a whole photo shoot using one lens. That is like playing 18 holes of golf with a putter!
I bring 8 factory made batteries, not a inexpensive battery from China but real Canon batteries that last a long time, but they do lose their charge and I have many backups.
I bring a slew of discs not just one or two.
I bring a t least 6 flashes, flashes are the same as womens shoes. There is never enough!!!!
It takes real money to make great shots. Photography, portrait photography is an investment. Make sure the price you pay is fair, but if it sounds to good to be true it probably is!!!
