#58 - How to price your work as a food photographer with Joanie Simon - Part 1


Listen Later

What was the first question you had when you decided to start working with clients?

“How much should I charge?”

“How do I know what to charge?” 

“What should be the fee?”

Something to this effect,  would you agree? 

Aren’t pricing and rates one of the toughest aspects of setting up a food blogging or photography business? 

Fee is the number#1 reason we are overwhelmed & nervous when starting out as a business. It gives us sleepless nights.


That’s why I have our favorite food photographer, Joanie Simon joining us today to talk all about pricing your work as a food photographer. 

She walks us through all the different ways of setting our rates, how to approach pricing, which projects to take up, how to  talk to clients, what to include in a proposal and how to address overtime work. 

If you’re a content creator working with clients or wish to work with clients, this episode is not to be missed.

Money is an awkward topic, it is the toughest part to wrap around in your business. 


Joanie is a pro food photographer who has been in the market long enough to tell us the best way to approach pricing and the shortcut to doing it the right way because the last thing we want is the pressure of money to suck away the joy of creating.

Good news is that business and creativity can co-exist and thrive too, as long as we know how to approach it.
