People see “$550 photoshoot” and think photographers pocket $550 dollars. 🤯

Here’s a realistic breakdown of where that actually goes 👇

Client pays: $550

• Put away 25% for taxes
$550 → $412.50

• Payment processing / transaction fee
$412.50 → $395.55

• SD cards (1–2 cards for a session, average cost)
~$65–$130
$395.55 → $330.55–$265.55

• Monthly business expenses split across sessions
(storage, gallery delivery, website, subscriptions, editing software, etc.)
~$50
$330.55–$265.55 → $280.55–$215.55

• Gas + travel to and from session
~$20–$40+ depending on location
$280.55–$215.55 → $260.55–$175.55

And that’s before:

• equipment upgrades/repairs 🛠
• camera bodies + lenses 📷
• computer + hard drives 💾
• insurance ✔️
• props/client closet 👗
• education 📚
• advertising 📢
• time spent shooting 🕑
• hours of editing 💻
• emailing, planning, culling, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, & a dozen other payless hours 💸

Photography is a business, not just “showing up and taking pictures.” I appreciate those who know the iceberg of backwork that goes on behind the scenes. ❤️🫶

I created this logo for an avid roller skater using Adobe Illustrator. The main graphic is a silhouette of a picture of skater roller skating. During this project I learned how to tailor font for a more stylized and dramatic look. For that I learned more about using the Path tools and the Pathfinder tools.

Also, this sounds simple but, the white sticking on the letter 8 was something I just learned. For that I just had to make the stoke a dashed line and change the stroke end cap to rounded...very simple.

I created the silhouette using Google Gemini's Nano Banana tool since that was not something I anticipating needed to tailor or customize in the future. The shadow and the outline for the silhouette were done in illustrator.
