Pricing Inquiry Scripts
Pricing Inquiry Response Scripts for Photographers
As a photographer, your hands are usually on a camera, not a phone, which makes it hard to catch every lead. These scripts help you turn 'How much do you charge?' into a booked session by focusing on the value of your art while you are busy on a shoot or in the editing suite.
Standard Portrait Inquiry
Use this when someone calls asking for a general price for family or individual photos.
Thanks for reaching out! My portrait sessions start at $350. This includes a one-hour shoot at a location of your choice and 15 professionally edited digital images delivered in an online gallery. Does that sound like what you had in mind, or are you looking for a longer session with more outfit changes?
Tips for this scenario
- -Mention the digital gallery specifically so they know exactly how they get their photos.
- -Ask a question at the end to keep the conversation moving toward a booking.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone with 'Hello?' instead of a professional business greeting.
!Giving a single flat price without explaining what is included (editing, digital files, etc.).
!Forgetting to ask for the date of the event immediately to check availability.
!Sounding rushed or annoyed when a lead interrupts your editing or shooting time.
!Failing to follow up with a text or email if the caller doesn't book on the spot.
