David J. says, "It's that he listens to what I want, makes suggestions towards getting that done, and delivers. Imagine having to do headshots in my own home, how do you make that happen? Daniel brings the gear, makes the "set" and after the selections are made, you can't tell it wasn't done in any studio" Read more

Your Photo Shoots questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photo shoot cost?

The average cost of a photo shoot depends on the type, location, and the photographer's experience and reputation. A simple family portrait photo shoot at a big box store can cost as little as $100 for the session and a limited number of digital images, while a newborn or boudoir photo shoot with a well-known photographer can cost up to $1,500 with a printed photo album.

Prices for popular types of photo shoots are:

Do you tip a photographer for a photo shoot?

Tipping practices vary depending on the type of photographer and photo shoot:

  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, newborn photographer, or pet photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, family portrait photographers at big box stores like JC Penney or Wal-Mart do not expect a tip.
  • Tipping is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, share their photos on your social media and post a positive review online.

How much does a photo shoot location cost to rent?

Renting a photo shoot location costs $50 to $150 per hour on average, depending on the type. Small, private studios typically fall at the lower end of the range, while large venues or high-end studios cost $150+ per hour to rent. Renting a styled home for a photo shoot costs $150 to $250+ per hour, depending on the location.

Renting a location for your photo shoot allows you to control the lighting, stage the background with your own items, and keep crowds out of your photos. Select a location with an aesthetic that suits the style you want for your photos. If budget is an issue, consider using a free public space or outdoor venue like a park or city street for your photo shoot.

What should you wear for a photo shoot?

The ideal clothing for a photo shoot depends on the type of photo, your personal style, and the image and tone you'd like to convey. However, these guidelines apply to most photo shoots:

  • Dark clothing will slenderize, while light clothing sometimes has the opposite effect. However, if looking slender is not a concern, light or white shirts and blouses offer a simple, classic, fresh look.
  • Avoid overly bright colors as they typically draw the viewer's eye away from your face.
  • Avoid stripes, plaids, and other patterns, as they typically become a distraction and can cause distortions in digital images. Even tiny patterns can cause problems.
  • Stick with long-sleeved tops and long pants instead of short-sleeved tops and shorts, even for casual portraits.
  • Be selective about which accessories you wear. Simple, minimal accessories typically work best, while large, bold accessories draw attention from your face.
  • For family and group portraits, wear simple solid-colored clothing that coordinates. If desired, choose a theme or color palette.

When in doubt, ask your photographer for suggestions about what to wear to the photo shoot. The photographer may recommend specific colors that work well for your shoot's location, time of day, lighting, and style.

How can I save money on a photo shoot?

Follow these money-saving tips when booking a photo shoot:

  • Book a "mini-session" at a lower cost. A mini-session typically lasts only 20 to 30 minutes but may be long enough to get the photos you want.
  • Follow your favorite photographers on social media. Some photographers provide occasional deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a student or less experienced photographer. However, make sure you review their portfolio ahead of time to confirm they have the skills to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online company instead of ordering them directly from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some photographers offer a package that includes newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows. Many wedding photographers offer packages including both engagement and wedding photos.

How can I find the best photographer for a photo shoot?

Follow these tips to choose the best photographer near you for your photo shoot:

  • Look for a photographer who specializes in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review the photographer's online portfolio to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a detailed written contract before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the photos. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for social media and marketing purposes.

What questions should I ask before booking a photo shoot?

Ask these questions when evaluating photographers for a photo shoot:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Which types of photography do you specialize in?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • Do you require a deposit? If so, how much, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have your own photo studio? If not, where will you take my photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo shoot?
  • What should I wear to the photo shoot?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to deliver the photos?
  • Do you offer prints or photo albums? If so, how much do they cost?
  • Who will own the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my photos on your social media or website portfolio?
