I agree with what Michelle said about perceived value. So true! I think it's okay to charge low prices just for starting out but only for the first year or so. Awesome post Jess!

I believe people respect you more when they pay a fair yet healthy price for their custom photography. There's a little thing called perceived value... it's worth learning about. There's nothing worse for the photographic industry than all those desperate photographers out there that are giving their work away and completely devaluing the art of photography. People think anyone can do it because there are those out there that help foster that notion by way undercharging for a professional service. I wish things were different there in Utah and I see it affecting my friends' businesses. I honestly don't know how these photographers can justify their prices with all the work that goes into a complete session from start to finish. I guess it just takes continually putting out a fantastic product and educating your clients on the value of your work.
