Custom photography is not for everyone. It is a luxury, and new families can often experience sticker shock when hiring a professional photographer for the first time. The reason why the cost is so different than say, a mall studio or hobbyist photographer, is multi-faceted. When commissioning a professional photographer, you are not paying for a piece of photo paper or a jpeg image. You are paying for the artist’s experience and eye, training, thousands of dollars worth of equipment, insurance, taxes, supplies, travel, world class products, customization and consultation That is just the tip of the iceberg. Jen spends, on average, 15-30 hours per client. All of these variables, combined with the one on one attention, make up the cost of a custom portrait session.
