    Im in the process of switching to IPS. I have my 1st client tomorrow for the session and two weeks later the order session. I feel digitals are getting so cheap and the expectations is crazy 50-100 digitals for $200 to $300. It’s not probably. I have not tried online sales correctly. I was trying it for weddings for the guest who wanted prints but the brides don’t seem to like to share their photo with the guest. So I’m going to revisit this. Thank you for this video. I only recently found you and really appreciate your content.

    Thanks for all your great information. You two are so down to earth and make it fun to learn!!
    How do you upcharge for a large family, for instance, 2 families with grandparents who want individual family shots as well as the entire gang?
    I have a set price for family session but recently came across this situation . Do you charge a certain amount for each additonal person after the typical family of 5? and if so , how much more.
    I want to be fair but want to make it worth my while. Lots of editing with more people!!

    The only way I sell is in person unless it's impossible to do so. I print my own up to 13x19", and I have an excellent local lab that I can go talk to with a test print they can match on the same paper type in larger sizes. I don't sell digitals except in unusual cases, or if they spend more than $650 in prints. I don't want the client taking digital images to Walgreens and getting lousy prints that make me look bad. I use Hahnemuhle and Canson papers, which cost me more per sheet than Walgreens charges for prints.

      Romie, you should probably give them lower resolution digital files that they order to share on social media. I stopped including high resolution images in my collections. If they ask about "digitals" I tell them that digitals for social media are included with everything they order. If they ask about high resolution digitals then I do offer them for sale but I make them expensive to buy.

    Thank you so much for this video. I am actually struggling with my pricing. How much do you sell your prints for (if you don't mind me asking)? I offer prints through my Shootproof gallery, but I am not getting any sales. Most of my clients go to Costco to print. Also, do you offer print packages?

    • @esquared.photography
      @esquared.photography  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We totally get it!!! Price time low to start while still making some money. Maybe try giving them a $25 print credit to push them to buy through you.

  • @kristagearhart9617
    @kristagearhart9617 ปีที่แล้ว

    Okay, so do you charge flat rate for you doing the shoot AND THEN charge for prints whether be digital or not? or do you charge a flat rate for all of it together also depending on the package they choose?

I think for me personally it would be really tough to juggle this as I have 4 children that also require a lot of my time...so for me doing all digital sales has been working pretty well but I am currently in a bit of a rut where I feel I need to consider more ways of bringing in more money and I am finding this very challenging
