Hi all! So, I conducted my first engagement shoot on the weekend. 🙂 Everything went pretty smoothly (aside from almost ruining my lens! Note to self – never put a lens in your pocket and then bend over taking pictures on the edge of a flowing creek. If your lens falls out your pocket and there doesn’t... Read More »

I have a friend asked me if I’d be willing to do a fall family photo shoot for their family, and a local moms group that my sisters and I provide childcare for that had mentioned they may ask me to do family photos for the families in their group at some point.

I would like some ideas on what I should be charging for doing photoshoots for people. What is a fair price for a session of about an hour?
