When you see something like this, don't be afraid, don't call the firefighters or the police, don't move and don't kill them.
These are just bees traveling and stopping for just 24 hours.
Don't disturb them and avoid getting close to them, they won't hurt you.
If you want to help, put a flat plate or tray with some sugar water.
Bees will eat, gain energy and fly away.
We all need to protect migratory bees, they are our survival insurance.
Without bees, there will be no humans on earth. 🐝🧡

SOooooooooooo....... BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING.........

Why does it cost so much for a picture?
I couldn't share the original post but here it is.

This morning a local was asking for “cheap photographer” recommendations. An amazing photographer in the area replied with this statement. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than this:::

“I want to break down a $300 family photo session for you. (I don’t charge $300, my portraits are priced much higher than that .. but for the sake of the example we’ll go with $300, because that seems to be the average of what a lot of photogs charge in this area)

- Shoot takes 1 hour
- Drive time is 1 hour (assuming the distance is only thirty minutes to and from the location) Also not including traffic.
- Editing time 3-5 hours (5 if you’re delivering a retouched quality product)
- Time it took to book the client (typically several detailed emails or a 30 minute phone call)

We’re up to 7.5 hours

Minus $33 for gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

$267 / 7.5 hours = $35.60 per hour

Now wait, we haven’t added in the cost of running a photography business which on average is about $10,000 (that’s bare bones: insurance, proofing galleries, supplies, crm, equipment maintenance, etc). Mine is closer to $20,000 but that’s because I have a studio.

This also doesn’t take into account the years and years a photographer has spent honing their craft. It’s a skilled job (art!) that is often underpaid.

This ALSO doesn’t include if the photographer wants to put savings away for an emergency or ::gasp::: retirement 🤦🏻‍♀️

A photographer charging a $300 session fee would have to shoot 150 sessions to make $30,000 ($267 x 150 shoots - Basic $10k in expenses).

But wait, they haven’t paid income taxes yet….

You get the picture (no pun intended).

That’s not even a living wage. So if you’re a client (or a photographer) and you’ve actually spent the time to read this, $300 for a session is not a living wage. ❤️ “
