Beginner Pricing Builder

New to charging for sessions? This builder gives you a realistic starting price and a simple 3-tier package structure so you can price with confidence (without doing complicated math).

Beginner Goal

Your first goal isn’t perfection — it’s consistency. Aim for a price that covers your basics and helps you build skill, a portfolio, and a repeatable workflow.

Goal: Book 2–4 sessions/month at your starter price.
Target: Average sale of $250–$500 (depending on your market).
Next step: Once you’re steady, move to the CODB Calculator and raise prices intentionally.

1) Your Starting Plan

This creates your recommended minimum session fee.

Be honest. New photographers usually start with 2–6/month.

Include travel, editing, uploading, emails, and delivery.

If you’re unsure, pick $25–$50/hr as a starting point.

Keep it simple: Lightroom, galleries, website, gas, basic savings.

This adjusts the suggested package structure below.

This lightly adjusts your suggested ranges.
