From Weddings to Portraits...
How can you go from making thousands per wedding, to photographing portraits and still stay profitable?
Have you asked yourself this question as a wedding photographer? If you're like MOST wedding photographers, you probably have! If you're making a few thousand dollars (or more) for weddings, why would you even consider switching to, or adding, portraits?
Here are a few reasons:
1. Work less & make MORE
2. Get your weekends/family time back
3. Less wear and tear on your body
4. Portraits are less likely to be cancelled/rescheduled in today's world
WORK LESS, MAKE MORE
Let's say an average wedding day for you is 8 hours. You might even include a complimentary engagement or bridal session, too. To keep numbers easy, let's assign that a $4,000 price tag. What if you could photograph ONE portrait session for $2,000, $4,000 or even more? Think about this: you could photograph 4 weddings per month at $4,000 each (16,000 total) or 8 portraits (2 a week) per month (16,000 total). You make the same amount of money shooting 8 portraits per month (about 1-2 hours) vs 4, 8-10 hour wedding days in a month. Not to mention the engagement or bridal session too.
NOW WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING...
"I could NEVER charge $2,000 for a portrait session"
Yes, you absolutely can. So many of us are charging that and more. The founders for The Motherhood Anthology are regularly making $3K, $4K, $5K+ on portrait sessions with a $2K minimum. You just have to learn HOW!
