How to Compare Prices
“A lower sticker price isn’t automatically a better deal,” says Joseph Antony of Jo Anto Photography. He suggests you divide the price by the number of edited photos you get. That gives you a fair way to compare studios.
Joseph Antony of Jo Anto Photography says “most sessions across the GTA land somewhere between about $250 and $450, depending on what’s included.”
- Check if tax is included in the price.
- Ask how much extra photos cost.
- Find out if there is a fee for more people or pets.
- Look at the deposit and refund rules.
What Happens Next
The lower priced dates often sell out first. If cost is your main concern, book soon so you can choose from more times. After your session, most studios send photos in one to three weeks, which leaves time to print your own cards at a low cost.
