Maybe you are sitting there thinking… “I can’t charge that much” “I am just starting out” “My work isn’t good enough” “I don’t have enough experience” “I feel like an imposter”
I am here to tell you that regardless of how long you have been in business you deserve to be paid well.
Set your prices where you think they need to be 5 years down the road.
Trust me- or else you will be spending time each and every year trying to re-adjust and raise your prices because you aren’t making enough money….and stressing out about how you are going to explain that price increase to your clients again.
If you want to hop off the hamster wheel and not have to constantly re-do your pricing. This is the way to go.
- Establish What YOU Want Your Brand to be Associated With
- Maintain Consistent Client Expectations from the Beginning
- Understand How to Run a Profitable and Sustainable Portrait Business
- Avoid the Mistakes Many Photographers Make in Their First Year
- Skip the Model Calls and Starving Artist Stage the Right Way
Every piece listed above is entirely achievable for each and every photographer starting out in the photography world, you just have to commit to educating yourself first. While it may mean you sell less portraits or smaller portraits for your client’s walls in the beginning, as your work improves you will find that you will be selling more images.
Your clients will begin loving your portraits so much that they will want to display huge larger than life pieces of art on their walls…and soon enough you will see that you can make more money each and every year simply by growing as a photographer and not re-adjusting your pricing. It is my motivation to encourage every photographer to not only invest in their education but also build a brand that will allow them to:
- Sell Larger Than Life Wall Art
- Attract 5-Figure Portrait Clients
- Enjoy a Simple and Efficient Workflow
- Leave the Emotional Rollercoaster of Starting a Business Behind
- Experience a Healthy Work/Life Balance
