Studio space!

I am now the proud renter of 1400 square feet of yummy studio space in Leo! I am sharing the space with 3 good friends and photographers. I will put photos of the studio on as soon as we get it set up (we are moved in, and are setting it up Monday, June 2nd).

Pricing....oh,how I hate to figure out pricing. I've done extensive research on other photographers in this area who do the same type of photography. I've also collaborated with other photographers, and that is how I come up with my prices. I thought it only fair to share with you as to where your money goes:

Cost of equipment: lenses, cameras, filters, bags, flashes, diffusers, batteries,
Gas
Childcare
Editing software
Computer & back-up hard drives
Fios
Business cards
Insurance
Website costs
Studio space
Tripod
Reflectors
Samples
Packaging
Props
Backdrops
Studio lighting (replacement bulbs, etc)
Classes & workshops
Animoto subscription for slideshows
CD's, printer, ink, paper
Prints (S&H)
About 4-6 hours post-processing each shoot
Most valuable-time

Few pics from last night.

This little guy didn't feel well and was still a perfect subject! Wanted to share a few of his pics:)

My biz

We said goodbye to my husband a couple of weeks ago. He will be in Kuwait for a year. I had surgery on March 20th and require about a month to recover. We will be going to New Orleans to visit my husband from April 22nd-April 29th. So it looks like shooting gets pushed back to May. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will post my calendar as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience! Kim
