Everything handled. Nothing forgotten.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD?

You've Googled these questions and so has every photographer you admire.

What do I charge?   How should I structure my session payments?   Do I charge a travel fee?   What happens when a client ghosts after the reveal?   What if they only want digitals?   What if I'm doing all of this wrong?  Here's what I have learned over the past decade: these are edge cases and I was running my entire business on the edge. I too was rethinking my pricing after every awkward conversation, rebuilding my workflow after every exception, making policy on the fly because there was no industry standard for this. The real loss was never a sale. It was a family who walked away without tangible heirlooms. So we stopped fixing edge cases and built the process. One clear path from inquiry to artwork on the wall. You don't need to solve every what-if. You need a standard that is fair to you and your clients.
