Photography as an Investment

The least expensive investment you will ever make…….photography!

Photography appears to be one of the more expensive items on earth and in fact it is the least expensive, when you consider the following . . .

Any economist at a University defines cost as dollar value divided by usage.
For instance a wedding dress costs $1000 and you use it one day. Therefore it is a $1000 unit of cost…since you one get one days use out of it. That same $1000 invested in portraits is only 6 cents a day assuming you only view and enjoy the images for 50 years. I am still viewing and enjoying a portrait of my great great grandfather that was taken in 1857 (just 18 years after photography was invented). So his photography even in today's money cost him a fraction of a penny today for each day I enjoy it.

We all have an almost obligation to show our descendants who we were and who we loved. Question….do you still have the money you made in the first paycheck you ever got? I don’t and most people don’t. We all spent it. Do you remember what you spent your first paycheck on? I don’t! I don’t even remember what I spent my paycheck on last month. What do I have to show for it? Most people spend their money on things that wear out, rust out or get thrown away. Ask you parents what they spent on their wedding album. Two typical answers…"I can’t remember" or "$150 bucks." Was $150 a lot of money then? YES! Is it now? NO! But they still have their album. And memories are all we really have left in the end…..

TONS of new people have jumped into wedding photography after losing their job ... we see them in the business a couple years and then they leave after they see how much work it is and what happens when they "blow" weddings. Trust your memories to a true professional. You will be delighted!

**We do not travel to weddings outside these area codes: 612, 651, 763 or 952 - with the exception being Hudson, WI. There is an additional fee for travel to western Wisconsin.
