Why is Photography so expensive?

There are many factors that go into the cost of hiring a professional photographer to take pictures of your newborn. I can't think of a better way to memorialize the birth of your new baby than with a beautiful photoshoot!

Here are some factors that I considered when figuring out my price for this service:

* Newborn photographers often book sessions around the baby's first two weeks of life, which can limit their availability and increase demand.

* Photographers undergo specific training to work safely and effectively with newborns, which includes understanding posing and handling techniques that ensure the baby's comfort and safety.

* Newborn sessions can take up to 4 hours. Babies can be unpredictable, requiring more time for feeding, soothing, and repositioning.

* Professional photographers invest in high-quality cameras, lenses, lighting, and a variety of props and backdrops specifically designed for newborn photography.

* After the shoot, a significant amount of time is spent on editing the images to ensure they meet high-quality standards. This includes color correction, retouching, and enhancing the final photos.

* Established photographers with a strong portfolio and positive reviews may charge higher rates due to their experience and the quality of their work.

I hope you appreciate the work that goes into these sessions and are willing to pay for the quality you want for your baby's first photoshoot.
