The Great Pricing Mystery Solved!

I'm always asked - "Tim, what are your prices?"

Seems like a fair enough question right? Sure! If I was looking to buy something, my one of my first points for comparison to make a choice is probably going to be based on the price tag!

I have a large variety of AMAZING ways for a client to display their final images. The products I carry all require an amount of personalization, and many of the products are so unique and beautiful that there is no way to fully describe them that can match what it is like to hold and inspect it personally. For these reasons I don't have any packages set in stone (although I do sell images on stone), which means I honestly can't give a price quote because a client won't know what they want until they come and find out what it is that they really want.

I encourage prospective clients to come to the shop and poke around! It is super fun to take something off the wall of my shop and check it out. This is where clients learn the prices of things. Everything in the shop has a tag on it, and is available in a size that will make them happy.

Once a client has come to the shop and figured out what they want in products, we talk about their shoot and I give professional advice to taylor the session for their needs, then we figure out which session they should choose. Each session's fee is determined by time commitment.

This is the BEST way to figure out a final price for a photo session and printed products. Once clients are educated in what is available, and they find the specific things they want, they know what to budget for their shoot - and everyone is happy :)

That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash. I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business. After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...

The Struggle with Senior Portraits Posing for Guys

If you search Pinterest for senior photos, overwhelmingly, girls show up. Tons and tons of examples of beautiful senior girls in flowery fields, on the town, in a stream. There are a few exceptions (and some really great ones) for guys, but it made me stop and think about the struggle with taking senior photos of boys. Sure, many of them aren't really into it, but rather having photos done because mom said so. Many aren't used to having such undivided and direct attention showered their way. Also, the teenage years can be awkward for boys. Where do you put your hands? How do you look like you're not enjoying it too much? What if you're not into sports? The struggle is real... but fixable. Here are our some of our best senior portraits and tips for making them feel comfortable : #1. Talk to them and wait for just the right moment for the "natural smile". #2. Photograph them in places the...

Valerie Gaberseck: Mom & Me Winner

In late April, Walck Portraits advertised that we were looking for nominations for exceptionally deserving mommas. We wanted to celebrate a few moms that deserved a special portrait session and some gift prints because of how hard they work to take care of their families. With over 25 applicants, it was so hard to choose, but one of the most endearing nominations was for Valerie Gaberseck . Normally, women aren't keen on their mother-in-laws, but Valerie was nominated by her daughter-in-law Angelee Kamats . There were many, many great things that Angelee stated about Valerie, but there were a few things that stood out the most: Again...the fact that she was nominated by her daughter-in-law. This doesn't happen often. She's a mom of four: two adult boys and two teenage daughters. Phew. That's some work. She has faced many personal issues within her family, and yet she still perseveres. Everyday. She stays true to her faith in God....
