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?

Because Great Photographers Aren’t Just Clicking a Button

We are:

• Location scouts.

• Lighting nerds.

• Therapists when you’re nervous.

• Hype crew when you need confidence.

• Weather trackers.

• Timeline builders.

• Emotion-readers.

• Art directors.

• Storytellers.

We know when to give direction and when to hang back. We know how to catch the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching. We know how to find the angle, the light, and the exact split-second where magic happens.

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.

“LITERALLY THE KINDEST AND MOST RESPONSIVE PERSON SUCH A PROFESSIONAL. kept up to date with communication, waited on our late group (stupid taxis) and hyped us all up! “she has a golden soul and the kindest human ever” is a quote from a member of our group! She had the best ideas for pics and we are so excited to see the pics”
