Portrait VS Wedding Pricing
helpAn 8x10 from that wedding you shot is $25. Shouldn’t it be $25 for your portrait clients? Maybe not.

DWF Pros who shoot both discuss the reasons that it makes sense to have different pricing structures.

Giggle! or Cry
laughSometimes your price is too high for the client’s budget.

Sometimes things are so far out of whack that all you can do is laugh.

Here’s one of those cases, where one DWF Pro member decided to laugh.
