Why Professional Photographers Cost So Much!

Image
It's been more than a year that I am doing professional photography. With that being said, I've encountered a lot of clients with different positive and negative reactions regarding the rates of our packages. But nonetheless, Lampara Studio is still doing great with monthly bookings and lots of events being covered each month. Thanks be to God for all of the blessings. But I wanted to share this write up I came along reading while browsing online. Why are Professional Photographers so expensive? In this digital age where everyone has digital cameras, scanners and home “photo printers”, when people upload their photos to a local drug store website and pick them up a few hours later, we hear this all the time – How in the world do Professional Photographers charge $55 for an 8×10 when they cost just $1.50 at the drug store? Here’s why. Simply put, you’re not just paying for the actual photograph, you’re paying for time and expertise in creating the image itself. First, let’...

Setting Up for a Party

It's a tiring task prepping for a birthday party, or any kind of party specially when you do it your own. I love to party, but I wanted to do it with my personal touch. I prepare all the foods, decors and everything. But when it comes to huge party preparations, I asked for some help from my relatives and friends. When the number of guests exceeds 20, it's time for me to do the renting out of tables and chairs. Good thing is that when you rent out, they already provide sets of table cloth for the table. I just hope that they have this kind of cloth,  a spandex fitted stretch tablecloth  to look more elegant despite the simplicity.
