Photography Pricing Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

In this episode, we’re talking all about photography pricing, and why there’s no universal “right way” to do it. One photographer charges $200. Another charges $2,000. And somehow…both are profitable. So what gives? The truth is, pricing is deeply personal. Your prices should reflect more than just your skill level. They should support your lifestyle, personality, business goals, workload and the type of experience you want to create for your clients. In this episode, I break down: * The biggest factors that affect pricing * Why photographers charge such different amounts * How to choose a pricing model that actually fits YOU * The pros and cons of three common photography pricing systems: * Hourly/session rate * IPS (In-Person Sales) * Tiered packages We also talk about: * Overhead costs and profitability * Location and market differences * Introvert vs extrovert-friendly business models * Luxury vs simplicity * High-volume vs low-volume businesses * Why comparing your prices to other photographers can be harmful Whether you’re brand new to photography or considering changing your current pricing structure, this episode will help you think more strategically, and more personally, about the way you run your business. Because at the end of the day, the best pricing strategy is the one that keeps you profitable and happy.

jakson Why Photographers Should Never Stop Learning kansikuva

Why Photographers Should Never Stop Learning

In this episode, I’m sharing a few of the biggest lessons I’ve learned during my conversations with niche photographers. Even after 11+ years, I’m still learning, and honestly, that’s been one of the most important parts of growing both creatively and in my business. I talk about why it’s so important to keep learning, how making space for the work you actually love can change everything, and why niching down isn’t limiting; it’s what helps you build trust and become known for something. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been doing this for years, I hope this episode gives you a little clarity and encouragement as you build a photography business that feels both strategic and fulfilling. Key Topics: * The importance of ongoing learning in both the business and creative sides of photography * Treating creativity like kudzu: never stop growing and expanding * The significance of saying no to projects that don't light you up to avoid burnout * Making space in your schedule for your preferred niche and personal life * Challenging the "jack of all trades" mindset by focusing on areas where you can be an expert * How clarity in your niche simplifies marketing and attracts the right clients * The value of continuous self-reflection and adapting based on experiences and conversations with peers Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Why continuous learning matters in photography 01:18 - Learning is never just for beginners: always grow on creative and business fronts 01:46 - Creativity should grow like kudzu: never stop expanding your imagination 02:15 - Saying no to projects that no longer serve your business or passion 02:43 - Narrowing focus: the importance of niching down for trust and credibility 03:10 - Letting go of gigs that don’t light you up to avoid burnout 03:39 - The significance of making space for what you love to do more of 04:08 - Avoiding over-scheduling sessions that aren’t aligned with your goals 04:37 - Embracing change: outgrowing certain types of photography to prevent mediocrity 05:05 - Making space isn’t just about time; it's about mental and creative bandwidth 05:33 - Building trust through specialization and expertise in your chosen areas 06:00 - Summary: focus, clarity, and continuous growth drive success 06:30 - Cathleen’s encouragement: stay curious, adapt, and keep learning 07:00 - Building a community and inspiring others through sharing your journey 07:28 - Final thoughts: celebrate growth, embrace niche specialization, and stay inspired 07:54 - Call to action: leave a review and support the podcast Resources & Links: * Use That Camera [https://usethatcamera.com/] * https://www.facebook.com/burnsexposures [https://www.facebook.com/burnsexposures] * https://www.burnsexposures.com/ [https://www.burnsexposures.com/]
