Photography Session Fee

If you have never worked with a professional photographer you may find yourself asking two very reasonable questions, " What is a session fee?' and What does is pay for?"

Zooming Camera

What is a session fee?

The first question is answered relatively quickly - A session fee is the fee a photographer charges for the service of actually taking photos. some photographers refer to this fee as a "sitting fee". There is a lot more than simply pointing the camera and snapping a photo but in the simplest terms, you are paying for the photographer to take a photo. Fees for professional photographers typically range from $325 to $1700 and up.

What does a session fee cover?

The question of what does a session  fee pay for is much harder to answer and it is one of our most frequently asked questions.

At TLC Photography, our session fee covers the following:

  • In-Person or Phone Consultation

  • The Photographer

  • An Assistant

  • On-Location or Studio Shoot

  • In-Studio viewing & Design Session
