Okay so, I run a non photography business full time, and I have done a few free shoots with friends of mine and just did my first paid shoot. I'd definitely like to do more, and have gotten a great response and actually have about 20-30 people asking me for shoots...
The trouble is that I'm so busy with my real job and editing takes so long that I feel like I'll be lucky if I can make time to do even two paid shoots a month.
I tried sending images out to professional editors, I tried fixthephoto and photoengine and both times felt pretty unispired by the edits. It's like I'm making homemade soup with love when I edit and they and giving me hospital cafeteria soup when I pay them to edit.
Does anyone know of any sites that actually edit with care? Does anyone have helpful advice?
I charged $175 for about two hours of a session for the shoot I did this week (photo attached) and I've had a few people tell me to raise my prices so that I have less demand, but I dont really want to price myself higher until I have more professional experience.
