Your Prices Are Too Cheap…
Why I Charge What I Charge (For Now)**
🚫 MYTH: “If you’re cheaper than other photographers, your work must be lower quality.”
✅ FACT: Pricing doesn’t always reflect value – it reflects the stage your business is in.
Over the last year I’ve had clients, friends, even other photographers say, “You’re too cheap for the work you do.”
And honestly? I take it as a compliment.
But there’s a whole story behind why my prices sit where they do – and why they won’t stay there forever.
Let’s talk about it.
This Isn’t My Full-Time Career… Yet
Right now, Wilson Studios is a business I’m growing alongside my main career.
Not because photography is a “hobby” – far from it – but because I want to build it properly.
Keeping my prices accessible at this stage allows me to:
✨ Build a strong portfolio
✨ Work with a wide range of clients
✨ Grow at a steady, sustainable pace
✨ Invest in gear, training & software
✨ Deliver beautiful work without the pressure of full-time pricing (yet)
I’m not rushing the process – I’m building the foundations of something long-term.
Value Isn’t Measured in £ Signs
Just because my prices are lower than some doesn’t mean the experience is.
You’re still getting:
• Beautiful, thoughtful editing
• A friendly photographer who actually helps you pose
• A calm presence on your wedding day
• Professional equipment
• Hand-edited galleries delivered with care
• Genuine passion for every shoot
A lower price doesn’t mean “budget photography.”
It simply means the business is in its early growth stage – and you’re benefitting from that.
I’ve Priced My Work Intentionally
There’s zero guesswork behind my pricing.
I’ve looked at:
📌 Local market rates
📌 My current experience level
📌 Demand
📌 Business costs
📌 Time spent shooting + editing
📌 Where I want this business to be in 2-3 years
And I’ve chosen pricing that reflects exactly where Wilson Studios sits right now.
Not overpriced.
Not undervalued.
Just… right for the stage I’m in.
And Yes – Prices Will Increase Over Time
As the business grows, so will the pricing.
Not suddenly.
Not dramatically overnight.
Just gradually, in line with:
📈 Experience
📈 Demand
📈 Portfolio strength
📈 Additional training
📈 Time invested
📈 Transitioning more towards full-time hours
Clients who book now are basically getting future-level quality at present-day prices.
It’s the best deal you’ll ever get from me.
Future me will absolutely be charging more.
“Too Cheap” Is Just Another Way of Saying…
People saying my prices are too cheap usually means:
💬 “Your work looks worth more.”
💬 “You’re delivering above your price point.”
💬 “You’ll outgrow these prices quickly.”
And they’re right.
That’s exactly the plan.
What This Means for You
If you’re thinking of booking:
Now is honestly the perfect time.
You’re getting:
✔ A photographer who genuinely cares
✔ A bespoke experience
✔ Hours of editing and planning
✔ A business that’s levelling up every single month
✔ Prices that won’t stay this low forever
It’s a win for both of us.
Final Thoughts
My prices aren’t “cheap.”
They’re considered, strategic, and honest for where my business currently is.
Wilson Studios is growing – beautifully – and over the coming years, my pricing will naturally grow with it.
But right now?
Clients booking at today’s prices are getting incredible value and a photographer who puts her heart into every single gallery.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence…
This is your nudge.
Book now, thank yourself later.
