Couples, Maternity, or Portraits of ANY kind—Here’s Why the Vibe Matters More Than the Price Tag
Before You Ask About Price—Read This First
If the first thing you’re asking a photographer is “What’s your price?”—we need to talk.
Because here’s the truth: you’re not hiring someone to just “take photos.” You’re trusting someone to shape your memories, tell your story, and make you feel like a damn work of art. And if you’re not picking your photographer based on who they are and what they create—you’re gambling with something you can’t get back.
I’m not saying budget doesn’t matter. But I am saying that asking about price before you know what someone stands for, how they shoot, and what kind of experience they create? It’s like picking a tattoo artist based on who’s cheapest. You might save money now—but you’ll probably regret it later.
Here’s What You Should Be Asking Instead:
• Does this photographer create work that moves me?
• Do I trust them to guide me—location, time of day, outfits, posing, everything?
• Can they make me feel comfortable and confident, even if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
• Are they responsive, experienced, and professional—but also warm and intuitive?
• Do they shoot with intention, soul, and attention to detail?
• Will I look back at these photos and feel something?
“Working with Ashley was just an amazing experience! She absolutley loves what she does which makes it so much easier to relax and really enjoy it. The photos came out with such great colors and style. I highly recommend Ashley of you ever need engagement photos done. You won’t regret it!”

You’re not just booking an hour of our time. You’re booking years of experience, gut instinct, and artistic fire. You’re booking someone who will make you look like the most magnetic, radiant version of yourself—and who will do it with heart and skill.
And If We’re Being Real? You Deserve That
You deserve more than someone who just shows up, presses a shutter, and sends you 100 generic images.
You deserve someone who’s thinking about your session long before it happens—who’s curating the vibe just for you, considering the light, helping you pick your wardrobe, scouting your location, and holding your hand through it all.
That kind of care? That kind of magic? It doesn’t live on a price list.
“amazing amazing amazing !!!! That’s all I can say. She was very patient and walked us through the entire photo shoot . I was a little nervous cause I can easily show aquward on my face but she made it so chill and relaxed and so much fun ! Will definitely book with her again !”
So If You’re Ready to Book a Photographer—Any Photographer—Here’s My Advice:
Don’t start with “What’s your price?”
Start with:
• “I love your work. What’s your process?”
• “How do you help clients prepare?”
• “Can you help me create something unforgettable?”
Then see how it feels. You’ll know when you’ve found the right person.
And if that’s me? Let’s make something soul-shaking together.
