I m sure y all have noticed that my sets have gone up in price this year I think I discussed it a little bit ago but I started actually doing the math yeah I have been the most irresponsible business lady up til now and realizing that I was BARELY covering shoot costs and sometimes not making a single cent off of these sets at the prices I was offering before There are definitely ways to cut costs like choosing to wear less expensive lingerie or work with less expensive photographers but here s the thing I don t want to buy fast fashion I don t want amazon or shein lingerie where the people working to make me the product are paid pennies I want to support these incredible independent designers and women owned businesses and more than that I genuinely get INSPIRED following these women I have worked with and enjoyed working with photographers who aren t Dana but honestly I will always be less comfortable working with a male photographer and the way Dana and I work together and the photos I get from working with her are my creative vision projected onto paper- she GETS me in a way other photographers I ve worked with don t and for the amount of images she delivers she s honestly inexpensive I was looking into shooting with a different photographer who was charging 500 for FIVE PICTURES I would never make my money back on that The rates of the locations I want to shoot at are usually 100 hr Dana costs me 1000 per shoot and while I am trying to cut costs on lingerie it helps SO much when something is sponsored off my wishlist but I honestly need to redo some of the items because the price has changed a ton in the last two years it s still a very expensive project Plus the 20 the sites take and the 25 in taxes I m just trying to be clear with you because I know you ve probably noticed the difference in price especially if you ve been here a long time Honestly I cannot believe I used to offer sets for the prices I did I undervalue myself and my work so often I hope tha
