Default Re: Selling Portraits or Scared by all the cheap prices

It all comes down to demographics. I don't care how good you are. There are people out there looking for the cheapest price. They will go to the next photographer if your not it. As far as your talents. People who know what top quality images should be will pay fo them. Why do you think Wal-Mart's and other stores have photo booths at such cheap prices. One to get people in the door. Two because they want to hit the low income market. Do they get our qwuality work. No, but people will pay what they can afford.
Everyone expects higher prices for weddings, anniversary, family pics, ect. That's the bulk of money makers for us. But if some average income single mom of three wants pics of her kids. She's going elswhere. Not always. But most of the time.
