I believe that how expensive something appears is very relative to what we value. I personally find cable to be very expensive - I don't enjoy the news, rarely watch television and as a result have turned the cable off in my home.
In contrast I love eating nice dinners out and I enjoy food that is prepared using organic, local ingredients. I think dinner for two that comes in at less than $40 is inexpensive. On that same note, I rarely eat fast food, I don't care that I can get a burger for $1.00 - the long term costs are too expensive to me.
We all value different things in our lives. I value time more than anything. When I make an appointment with a customer, I am trading my time for your money. It's really important to me that I enjoy that time. That money will come at too high of a cost if I don't love what I am doing. I love creating wall art. I spend a lot of time on your portraits and I consider them to be works of art. I don't know about you, but I think works of art deserve to be big! I love seeing photographic works of art in people's homes that is 20x30, 30x40 or larger. I value art.
What we find to be expensive is colored by what we value. People that choose me as their photographer do so because they value my work as an artist. Some people find me to be expensive, others think I'm a bargin. It's up to you to decide what it is that you value in your life.
My session fee's start at around $200, my collections range from $385-$2150. You should expect your minimum investment to be around $600. Is that expensive, that depends on what you value.
If you value custom designed works of art featuring the people you love give us a call, we would love to work with you!
