Services (What Is Included):
What factors dictate cost? See Full article on Angie’s List:
Expertise is the main factor that dictates the price a professional photographer charges. With more experience, a professional photographer typically charges more.
Time is important, too. A photographer generally charges more for longer sessions, but families often get better pictures and more options to choose from when they spend more time with the photographer.
Finally, photographers have to invest in their equipment and must charge certain rates to help pay for high-tech gear. The quality of photography equipment, however, will contribute to a quality picture, so it's worth paying more if your budget allows.
