@jacqueline thank you so much your advice helps me out as I'm just getting more volume of calls as I'm being referred from clients it's really booming now this will help me to figure out what I need to do thanks again. I have one question do you think charging 40$ for makeup n lashes to just be starting is to little? I'm doing a photo shoot on Sunday for a friend of mine and I charged her for 2 hours 120$ but if she wasn't a friend I would have charged 150 $... Just wanna know am I pricing too little or just right?

Great advice Jacqueline as always.I think you charge what you think your worth and amount of skill you have as for starting out $35 is good as well as $40 because your aiming to build up your portfolio of your work now I think it's best to stick with low rates just for a bit to build skill and pictures and as soon as your feel your ready and can back your self up with a build of clients and portfolio then aim higher in price.

Alma your also right that's what I thought also in just Buliding up right now so I think it's fair for 40$ to charge my clients that are local to me and I also have another question building your portfolio what camera do you guy use?

The great thing about that is you meet up with up and coming freelance photographers :-) you do a trade they need your skills for a shoot to build their portfolio as well as you need the pic's for your portfolio.

Alma your absolutely right I just talked with a photographer that is just starting out I was Reffred to him by a friend that shoots videos... And he's willing to do a shoot for me so we can both start our portfolios... I'm so excited. I'm thankful for all the great advice from gifted and talented makeup artists 😘❤
