This is a great video thank you so much!! I'm just 17 and only take pictures of my friends but I hope to take photography more serious, so topics like these are great for me.
I just want to tell you I went through a little rut in my photography and had so many doubts about being able to make it and feeling not good enough but finding your channel changed everything! I picked up my camera again and have never been happier with my work and am taking steps to start my business. Thank you for your videos!:)
You are literally the ONLY photographer I watch on TH-cam. I’ve searched for others but I only like yours:). I’m only 13, by I LOVE photography and I’m planning on doing it for a long time. This video is SO HELPFUL
You are such a young inspiring photographer in my eyes and you really know what you're talking about. I truly value all the lessons you share with us. Thanks for the inspo and the education Jessica!
Love this video! I've been doing photography for just over a year and just started to try to sell my photos earlier this year and have been struggling with pricing.
I'm a beginner photographer from Cape Town, South Africa and I've been watching your videos religiously for the past two or so weeks (they're just so helpful!!). My heart was so happy when you mentioned CT! I hope you get to come here soon :)
Can I say how much I love you and your channel? I've been doing photography as a hobby for years - but I have invested in better equipment and improved my skills so that I will be charging more in the future. This video is right on time! I am specializing in pet and baby photos because it's more challenging but more rewarding.
Love your videos. Joined your group and am really enjoying interacting with the other members. Lots of valuable information being put out by many of the members.
Hi Jessica. I love your videos. I tried to follow the link to the video where you talk about pricing but it says it’s a private video. How can I watch it?
I personally just started with like a serious vintage style kind of photography but i dont have that good of a camera its pretty cheap tbh (Nikon D3200) idk if its actually okay to charge people when i dont have a decent camera even tho i want to so i can buy a better one. But for now ill just focus on growing and improving myself with what i have and the poor locations i have and make the best out of it! Btw ur videos rock! please keep it up💛
i'm 16 and i'm currently just doing shoots for free because i just want practice but i've always considered charging for them in the future and this video was so helpful!! thank you!! can't get over how cute your bunny is too 😭
Hey Jessica! Next QA can you talk about your workflow in terms of importing images/hard drives/dropbox? Currently my laptop ran out of space and I'm moving files to dropbox since I can't even open Lightroom. :(
hi, just saw your question, by now you might already have the answer to it. But that's the way I do it. I always put them on my desktop first and import them into my lightroom next. By doing so I additional select the smart preview option when importing. This simply creats a copy of your photo which makes it a lot faster for your editing workflow. After that you should move your original photos to an external hard drive. After disconnecting your hd, your able to work with your smart previews just as you would with the original photos. The only time you need your hard disk plugged in is when exporting. This allows you to export in full resolution instead of just exporting the preview. Hope this helped (:
Hi! I’m a newbie to portrait photography so I was wondering if you could please make a video about delivering photos to clients and how to upload photos to social media/blogs?
OMW! You want to come to South Africa?? I live in South Africa, 80km's outside of Cape Town! If you ever come to South Africa please make a video of your visit here. :) BTW I LOVE your videos
I did a shoot for a senior and I followed your questions. ( which school do you want to go to?, when will you be graduating?) he answered. “Son, I graduated in 1972. Im going to be retired”
When you come to South Africa I'm your guy... Hopefully i'll be done with college by then. I haven't been to Cape Town too but i'd love to go. And your videos are super cool!!
I’m 15 years old and use a canon T5 and I take photography classes but I don’t know how to charge people for pictures because they don’t take me serious since I’m only 15 and not considered a “professional” so no one thinks they should pay me.
I'm a professional photographer and videographer and I get sooo much shit not shooting with a full frame. I have a Canon 80D because I prefer it for video over the 6D or 5D!! It's just so annoying!! Like leave me alone people!!
Kelsey, my first and only DSLR is the Canon 80D .. i had it for 3 months and made over $2000 with it and continue to get gigs... need full frame? stand back a few more inches lol... forget the haters.
I watched your pricing video after this video. Your image without all the makeup is far superior. With all the makeup, you look phony and impersonal. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
This is a great video thank you so much!! I'm just 17 and only take pictures of my friends but I hope to take photography more serious, so topics like these are great for me.
yay i am so happy it helps!!

I had been questioning what I should charge as a young photographer all week. You're the best!❤❤

Do you think that maybe you could do a video where people send you there photos and you critique them ?
that would be awesome

I did 3 locations and it took about 3 or 4 hours, def didn't charge enough money, def not doing it again for that amount!
Ren Crespo how many pictures did you give them? And how much did you charge
I've been charging 25 for three poses, one location and 15 digital copys and haven't gotten a single client :/ how am I supposed to charge 75? 😭
Angel Castellon maybe try 25-50 pictures for $75.
ur doing it wrong.. i do 75 an hour with unlimited photos and they can pick which photos they would like edited.
SerenityPhotos wowww thats an good idea !!!!
SerenityPhotos do you include digital or print out ?
EpicSkiesPhotography do you charge separate for editing
Can I say how much I love you and your channel?
