E66 | How should you use Deposits and Session Fees?

In the world of photography, the importance of session fees and the stigma surrounding deposits are topics that come up all too often.

 

A client is putting their trust in you when they pay, making how you handle session fees crucial when dealing with both new and existing clients.

 

However, some clients choose to cancel 24 hours before a session, or even on the same day! This may seem like a disaster, but it actually presents an opportunity to foster a relationship with that client.

 

We explore why session fees are essential for professionalism and how deposits can protect photographers' business interests while addressing clients' concerns. Join us as we delve into these crucial aspects of photography business practices.
