I'm really tired of people booking a slot, not paying any deposit and not coming for photo shoot! What about the preparations I've done to get ready for a photo shoot session? My studio settings not always there, unlike studio shops.
Please try to be understanding to a busy mom of three boys ya?

About Pricing

Two weeks ago, I'd received an inquirer's call, asking for my photography rates. As we go along, she was asking if mine was a home studio, and why are the charges still so high.

To my astonishment, I've always thought my package rates is the most reasonable in town. You can't find it elsewhere! So I thought maybe is when she heard about my other two packages, canvas and photobook.

Running a business is not easy at all. I don't earn much from one photo shoot session but I can't possibly do a lugi business too! You guys get what I mean? Taking in a photo shoot session meaning I've got to take out at least two hours of my time, an assistant to help out, changing backdrops, electricity bills, etc. And what I'm charging right now, is just only our labour fee and time! The photos you are getting back are absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. If I ever need to charge $3 for every photos retouch, I don't think people will come to my home studio for photography shoot anymore.

As for canvas and photobook packages, I've no choice but to include the costs.

I'm a fast worker but retouching a photo still need time. Each photo could take about 5 mins. So is 100 images x 5 mins = 500 mins, 115 images x 5 mins = 575 mins and so on... spending minimum of 9 hours or more to do the editing. And what's more, my kids need my attention too especially the youngest one. But I've never show regrets for starting this photography biz. It's my interest and the best thing ever is I can work from home!

My father in law is telling me that I'm running a lugi biz... and yet some inquirers who doesn't know my situation can say expensive. Sad. :(

In my point of view, I won't pay that much for a photography session when we are just geting back a few 5R photos and some/all low res images in a CD. I will still stick to my belief and give all the benefits to all mummies and daddies out there. :)

Take note

To all my dear clients,

Please kindly allow sometime (maybe one week or so) for me to do upload for photos selection and work orders to be done.

As my youngest boy has been so clingy to me and cranky ever since he had recovered from his fever.
Basically I've less than 3 hours per day to do my work with concentration.

I will try my best to finish the works ASAP.

Thank you for the understanding.
