Six Reasons Boudoir Photography Is A Luxury Expense

It’s a fair question, really, and we all have similar thoughts any time we’re about to spend a decent chunk of change on anything. I figured I’d take the time to explain why I charge what I do and what goes into the total cost.


1. The images taken are sensitive. You want to entrust someone who is not only completely professional and makes you feel 100% comfortable in this intimate setting, but who you know will handle your images with utmost care during the editing and storing process.

2. It took time to learn this art. The cost of my sessions isn’t just for the time we’re spending together; you’re paying for all the years of experience that got me to where I am today. You’re getting images that reflect years’ worth of experience and knowledge.

3. In some cases, the cost includes a small team of people who help make you look and feel beautiful the day of the shoot. This isn’t cheap, but it’s a service I like to provide!

4. We are shooting at my studio that I rent and pay utilities which costs money. The sets, the furniture, the lights and client closet are all included in part of the cost.

5. Photography equipment is not cheap, my friend. I’ll spare you all the numbers, but my arsenal cost well above five-figure range.


6. There’s a lot of behind the scenes work you may not realize is happening. I spend time researching the latest photography techniques, looking through images from your shoot to select the best photos, editing each one and designing your album. The time I spend doing these things far surpasses our time at the actual shoot, but it ensures an excellent finished product.
