Pricing my Photography


Research into pricing my photography

I am looking at other photography websites and seeing what prices and packages they offer so I can come up with something that I feel is right for me.


Below information taken from www.lisacowenphotography.co.uk

I feel like I could definitely produce images of the same standard, if not better than this woman, so I have taken her details for wedding packages, this will help me think about my costing etc.
