A photographer walks through three steps to price your work: figure out how much you need to earn, divide that by realistic billable hours, then check what your market actually pays. If clients are already buying, your quality is good enough to charge what you need.
Figuring out what to charge for your photography services doesn't have to be that hard. The first thing you have to do is figure out what you need to make in order to not just survive, but to thrive.
I'm rich!
The second thing you need to do is figure out how many hours you're reasonably going to be able to bill.
Welcome!
And finally, the third thing you have to figure out is what is the market that you're in?
I feel so alive!
And how much is that market going to be able to pay?
Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-chingery!
If people are buying your work, if people are telling you that they would pay you to take their photos, your work is good enough. I'm not saying that you don't want to get better, but it's good enough for you to charge What you need to make to earn a living.
Money, oh money, how I love thee. Cha-ching, cha-chong, cha-chang.
