I just read a thread about raising your prices to get MORE business. I know the subject must seem like a 'dead horse' to some on here, but I would genuinely like to get some opinions.
The other thread was about weddings, however, I mainly focus on children's/family/newborn/mat photography. In my area, I have gone to every single other photogs site I can find and the average for a sitting fee is between 100-350 dollars for the type of photography I do. I have priced myself at the lower end (100bux for a family shoot), in hopes of attracting a client base quickly, but reading that post has me second guessing that.
I DO have a pretty decent portfolio, I know what I am doing, and I am confident that I can and do deliver a great product, but again, I'm just starting out as a business. So what should I do? Keep it low hoping to attract more business, or raise my prices in hopes of attracting more business?? I'm doing an expo in a few weeks, and would like to have my prices set so I don't mislead anyone by changing them afterwards....
