Why My Photography Services Cost What They Do

2min de leitura

I sometimes see posts online saying things like “Looking for a photographer that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.” Honestly, that stings — because behind every session I do, there’s so much more than just taking pictures.

Photo by Ana Ramalho - These are the moments I work so hard to capture — every detail carefully planned and executed.

When you see my prices, it’s easy to think it’s “just a couple of hours of work.” But there’s so much that goes into making your session possible:

Studio rent and maintenance
Professional equipment (and backups — because babies don’t wait!)
Props, blankets, wraps, and outfits
Editing software, websites, storage, and design tools
Business expenses — insurance, phone and internet bills, utilities, and yes… TAXES

I also spend a lot of time studying and training — newborn safety, lighting, posing, editing techniques, and more — so I can give your family the best possible experience and images.

Orlando Newborn Photographer — Every session is captured with thousands of dollars of professional equipment — I invest in the best so your memories are flawless.

Unlike many jobs, I don’t have paid sick days, paid vacations, or health insurance. Most of what I do, I do because I truly love it — but the reality is, running a photography business is not easy.

Orlando Smash the Cake Photography — Every detail is prepared carefully before your session — from cleaning the studio and props, arranging backdrops, to having snacks ready for little ones. I do all of this to ensure your experience is safe, smooth, and enjoyable, so we can focus on capturing beautiful memories.

There’s also all the invisible work before and after your session:

Cleaning and preparing props, outfits, and the studio
Setting up backdrops and scenes
Hours of editing, creating galleries, and backing up files
Planning, communicating, and making sure every detail is perfect for your family

Booking a session with me isn’t just about taking photos — it’s about capturing moments with care, love, and attention to every detail. I pour my heart into every session, and I hope you can feel the dedication behind each image.

I approach every session with heart because I know how precious these moments are. When you see a photographer’s price, remember it reflects the time, care, and attention to detail that goes on behind the scenes.

I do this work because I love it, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing families treasure their memories. Every session is thoughtfully crafted with care, skill, and love — and if you value these moments as much as I do, it would be an honor to capture them for your family.

Orlando Newborn Photography — Photo by Ana Ramalho - A session with me is more than just photos — it’s time, expertise, and heart put into capturing memories your family will cherish for a lifetime.
