Portrait, Beauty, Glamour, Boudoir Photography Session Fee

If anyone who is reading this has ever had a professional photography session, you probably paid a "session" or "creation" fee for that session.  I was planning on doing that, too, but with a 100% money back guarantee.  Then I just read about a very successful photographer who doesn't charge a session fee, and thought what a great idea.  Then the photography session doesn't need a guarantee because if someone is not happy with the results, they won't order any products (prints, wall portraits, boxed prints, etc.).  The only cost might be for your hair and make-up, but if you go out for a night on the town after the session, you might have paid that anyway.

Now, before you get too happy, and run to a photographer who runs his or her business this way,  keep in mind that the photographer I'm basing this article on sells some of his wall portraits for close to $20,000.  That does include a large size on the best papers or canvas, framed with museum quality frames, and one where you look like at least a million bucks.  Don't worry, I won't be charging that much for a while.  Also, because some of the types of photography you may want may not be appropriate for a wall size product, the cost would be corresponding less, say for boxed prints, or a book of several images from the session.

Speaking of books, I've just had two made as samples, and really like the results.  These would be great for everyday portraits, but especially good for glamour, beauty, and boudoir photography.

If the "no session fee" sounds like a good idea to you, and you might be interested in a session at some point, please bookmark this page.  Generally, a session fee would be around $400 and up.  So this amount would be included in the first print.  Please also note that I do not offer images on a CD, DVD, etc.  However, any prints you order, you would also receive those digital images.  If you would like a session, please email me (tonybel@gmail.com) with your name and phone or email.
