You can always choose a different photographer who is cheaper. Photography is a business, a luxury service and supply and demand. I sold out my minis this year very early and my clients were very happy. In my area, I do believe I am offering a superior quality product to other photographers and what they are offering. Based on the supply and demand, and the quality I know I am achieving, I very likely will be increasing my prices next year on that alone to make a higher profit as a business
