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 :)

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer? Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family?

Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University. 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...

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques. You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter, use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light. Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel. This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red. Ho...

Nepal Relief Project

Mission : Raise $10,000 to aid in the Nepal relief effort. Where is the $10,000 going? – We are channeling funds through Plan International USA , a global organization established in 1937 with a mission of ending poverty for children and developing solutions to ensure long-term sustainability. Plan has had members on the ground in Nepal for many years working in rural areas outside Kathmandu and is in position to effectively deliver help and relief to families in need. How will we achieve this? We will sell fine art pieces and accept donations. Each piece sold is a member of a limited collection, where only 35 prints will ever be made. Each piece of art is hand signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. From each sale, 100% of the net profit will be donated. When will the funds be sent? After each sale or donation, we will immediately transfer funds to Plan . Where can I view the art available? http://www.timw...
