How much does a newborn photo session cost?

Having a child is an ambition for most married couples. Although it comes with its share of difficulties, becoming a parent is a unique experience that provides joy and fulfillment you can’t find anywhere else.

Many parents organize a newborn photo session to celebrate the birth of their child, but not everybody knows how much a newborn photo session should cost.

Let’s explore everything that you need to know about the factors that influence the price of a newborn photo session.

• Editing 

The majority of the time, you will have to spend more if you want a professional to edit your images after the photo shoot. The financial cost of retouching versus extensive editing also differs significantly.

Simply put, having the photographer soften your baby's skin will be significantly less expensive than having the background completely changed.

However, regardless of the amount of labor involved, some photographers charge a set fee for photo editing. Examining prior work is vital if you decide to pay for photo editing services.

You don't want to pay more for simple edits, regardless of whether the photographer completes it in-house or assigns this task to another party.

• Location

The location where your photographer works has a big impact on how much the session costs. Larger cities typically see higher pricing for photography services provided by their practitioners.

Still, there are other functions that location serves. The total number of locations included in your photo shoot might have a significant impact on the price.

Certain photographers provide three locations within a 25-mile radius at different price tiers. While they might not be as accommodating, some photographers might charge extra for the session. Additionally, you should prepare to pay more to your photographer for settings that are difficult to get to or far away.

To locate the photographer that best suits your demands, it is therefore strongly advised that you thoroughly go through the selection of photographers in your area. If not, you can end up paying a lot more for less-than-satisfactory performance.

• The Total Number of Photos

Generally speaking, taking more pictures will always result in a higher price. In order to facilitate their clients' needs, photographers frequently provide varying packages based on the quantity of images captured during a given session.

For Rs. 15000, a mid-range newborn photography package, for example, might come with 5 to 6 images. However, a premium package might come with 10 to 15 pictures for Rs. 25000, which would let you negotiate a better price.

The pricing will also vary based on the size of the images; larger photos will cost more.

Usually, the customer is responsible for printing their own photos. However, a few experts can provide this service in addition to their photography. It's usually worthwhile to think about hiring a photographer to take the pictures at an extra expense because you will be paying to have them printed anyway.

A basic newborn photo shoot with your neighborhood photographer will usually cost you between Rs. 25000 and Rs. 45000. On the other hand, if you hire a photographer with decades of experience, you should budget more than Rs. 50,000.

The same is true for photo sessions that feature lots of edits, different locations, or a high volume of photos. From this point on, you can make sure that you locate a photographer who can meet all of your requirements at a fair price.
