I’m a professional photographer and am always trying to get a leg up on other photography businesses. I mostly specialize in child portraits, but do other work such as weddings, family portraits, advertising photography, and pet portraits as well.
I’ve been thinking about offering my stain removal airbrushing free of charge for all children’s portrait work. For example, if a kid spills mustard on themselves ten minutes before their session, Mom doesn’t have to panic because I can run it through the computer and fix the problem on the final proof- all for free. Other photographers charge a fee (usually about 20 dollars a picture) to do this.
Would this be a selling point for you?
No. If I was using you as a photographer and you had that bonus in, that’s great, but if I had your advertisement next to another, this wouldn’t make me pick you over the other person. Maybe I’d just the odd ball here, but my kids are 9.5, 7.5, 3.5 and 2ms and never have any of them gotten something on their clothes right before taking pictures.
What would be a selling point for me would be if you would be willing to snap an extra 5-7 photos. I know where I go to get my kids’ pictures taken, they’ll only snap a certain amount of photos. Kids move, don’t smile, blink etc, so sometimes I end up with a handful of pictures that are just a waste and I can have them take anymore without paying another 20-30 dollars.

No – I used to work for a photo studio, and touch up
was a standard part of the service. Albeit alot easier
today than it was was then.

Hell Yeah! I know how hard it is when I see my son drooled his juice or spilled his food right before we have the pictures done. I would go to you since you seem to know how kids are and trying to sell a great picture and not rip someone off well there trying to get that great family picture! Good Luck Too You!

Most definitely. My son never fails to get something on his clothes right before we get his pictures taken.

Oh, of course! At my brother’s wedding, my cousin (2 at the time) got some root beer on his white tuxedo. Having one of these would be great, but instead, we had to put him on my back so you couldn’t see the stain during the picture.
