Sliding Scale Pricing
How it works
When you book a photoshoot with me, you’ll have the option to choose between the three sliding scale stages: minimum, standard, and pay it forward. For this model to work you need to be honest with yourself and your financial situation. I ask you to consider these factors, however, please don’t stress about it y'all! Pay what feels right. I will never ask questions or quiz you on your payment choices, and you do not need to explain a thing to me! Lastly, the scale does not determine what you get out of the photoshoot - if you pay less on the scale you do not get less out of the shoot, and vice versa.
Thank you to Andrea Vollgas, for help with this sliding scale verbiage.
