Krystle | Maternity {Yadkinville, NC Photography}

I absolutely LOVED this maternity session we did. Krystle is a long time friend of mine and she had her baby shower in November. We decided since I was coming home to NC for the shower that we would do her maternity session right afterwards. Well before we knew it the sun was going down…

Pricing Breakdown | Elkin, NC Photography

I’ve been contemplating doing this for some time after a discussion with a client who was shocked at all that went into my prices, she even said “you should tell people that!” LOL. SO I guess now I am! I’ve read a few other photographers blogs that broke down the prices, but I figured I…

Don’t forget the gas it took you to get to the session, especially now that it’s $3/gallon. Or if something comes up and you have to pay someone to watch your kids.

After doing all the paperwork for taxes, I realized I only made $85 last year. So it’s definitely not a get rich quick scheme.

Brooke - January 27, 2011 - 12:50 pm

You are exactly right!!I totally forgot about gas! I’ll add that :)

Yeah, I’m afraid to even look at mine for this year yet. I need to make sure everything from December is correct before I do it. With everything I purchased last year (2 new lenses, photoshop and lightroom) I’m not even worried about how much I “made” I’m more concerned about how much I lost! LOL The great thing is that I’m more aware of it this year, so I’m hoping to make a profit for 2011!

ati - February 2, 2012 - 1:22 pm

Great article!!!!!! Going to make one for my own blog :) Thanks for the AMAZING idea, I always was afraid to present this to my clients this way .but you put it beautifully !

Brooke - February 8, 2012 - 11:12 am

Thanks! Feel free to share it! :) I was a little worried too honestly, but I think it needs to be out there.

I Heart Faces | Innocent Wonder {Yadkinville, NC Photographer}

This weeks competition over at I Heart Faces is Innocent Wonder. I knew instantly what image I wanted to use. I love this shot of Olivia, the way she is investigating this little flower pretty much defines Innocent Wonder.  If you would like to see more of Olivia’s session go here –> Rockford NC Family…
