Stephanie: What if this would be for extra/second income. My full time job covers all my bills, so this would be extra. Would you still price it the same way? March 14, 2013 at 1:50 PM

Christy: Love this post! I give you so much credit for being so honest and brave on here. I can’t ever imagine you being recognized as a cheap photographer, especially with your talent! I def. can relate though... I’m struggling with pricing myself. I need to learn to not give out so many discounts to people and start to value myself and my work better.

Ericka: Thank you so much for posting this!! I have been struggling with being confident enough to raise my prices and have also dealt with the friends who can't afford me. I want everyone to be happy but I have 2 little ones to provide for and this makes me feel better about my decision!

Jami: You strike once again! Your blog posts always hit home at JUST the right time for me... Thank you again for another post that has both educated me and got my brain running a million miles a minute :) I'm new to the industry and pricing is something that I struggle with ALL the time! I'm taking a workshop at the end of this month though so hopefully it helps with pricing, etc. Thanks again, Sharon! You rock!

Kristyn Harder: Thank you, Sharon! As a photography student just nearing graduation, I am going to be increasing my prices substantially, but I am of course afraid of what people will say! This really helps!
