I have made the difficult choice to significantly raise my prices.
The new pricing is $400 this includes…
– Any initial phone or email consultation
– Photographers time for a session. Normally 2 hours long
– Photographers time editing and creating your custom portraits
– 20-30 professionally edited images
– High resolution disk of all edited images with copyright release
(disk will be mailed to you within 3 weeks of your session)
When I started my business I knew my prices would eventually need to be raised, but my goals then were different. I wanted to build a portfolio I could feel excited about and to build a reputation I was proud of. I am so thankful to all of my clients that I feel like with your help I have met those goals.
2 years ago I didn’t fully understand all the expenses of having a personal business. Now that I have met my original goals, I am looking to focus as well on building a successful business that will last. In doing so I am understanding more that I need to change my pricing.
I know that my new pricing will unfortunately place me out of the budget for some of my current clients. I am sorry for this as I truly value your support as I began my business.
Here are some things that I plan to do to help ease into the new pricing.
1. I will still offer mini shoots in the fall and spring.
Mini Shoot pricing in 2013 will be $100 for 30 mins. of shooting and 10 images
2. I will be selling Gift Certificates in November and December for a full session in the spring at
the previous pricing. So for $200 you can purchase a gift certificate for a spring shoot and lock in
the previous pricing that way.
3. In January I will be sending an e-mail to all my previous clients with a Coupon for $100 off a
session and you are welcome to share that with friends and family.
Again, I want to thank you all for your support. It has been such a dream come true for me to be able to capture so many of your families. I truly feel blessed and I couldn’t have done it without you!
If you are interested in purchasing a gift certificate please e-mail me at stangersteph@gmail.com or get in touch with me on facebook. =)
