**Let me preface this by saying WOW I am SO talented at the amount of run of sentences I can pull off in one post. And also yes, I totally could have shortened all of this and said WAY less but if you know me, you know a girl can TALK 🥴 especially when I’m talking about something that’s important to me ♥️
As a business owner, I know how hard it is to run a profitable business these days in this economy. ESPECIALLY when you have no choice but to raise your prices to keep up with the cost of everything, but then your regular clients and even new clients can no longer afford the luxury of your services. Look, I get it. Speaking personally and not from a business standpoint, I’m a mom with three children and ALSO understand the struggles. I’m right there with yall 😭
I love photography because of all the creative routes I can go & I love the art I can make with it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE delivering a gallery from a session and hearing how happy my clients are that they have these images. I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE IT! I want everyone to be able to have photos of their families, their loved ones, or just themselves being happy in that moment. I want everyone to have photos they will never get tired of looking at or sharing online.
The reason I’m saying all of this super duper cheesy cliche things is because I think everyone DESERVES to have the opportunity to have a photo shoot. Even if they can’t afford it.
SO, my point is:
❣️LET’S NORMALIZE BARTERING ❣️
You can’t afford my prices? I understand, let’s chat and meet in the middle. What can I offer you in exchange for something that isn’t money from you? Let’s trade services. Let’s make life a little less hard on each other, even if it’s just for a day. Everyone deserves high quality images of what they will cherish for years and years and years. Let’s work TOGETHER♥️
If you want to book a session with me but it’s not in your budget, PLEASE still message me! This post is me giving you permission to ask for a barter. You won’t offend me or disrespect me. I WANT you to get the photo session you’ve been wanting and haven’t done yet. Let’s do it ✨
