We love keeping our photography services accessible to women in all budget ranges.
A fine art photography experience is a luxury, no doubt about that! And there's also no doubt that luxuries are an investment, but a worthwhile one. Even so, some women feel apprehensive about booking their session because they feel they can't justify the cost.
For many women, the thought of paying a luxury session investment all at once holds them back from even reaching out to a photographer, and that breaks our hearts, because you truly deserve to have that empowering experience.
Here at Elevado Photography, a Milwaukee boudoir and portrait studio, we love to inform ladies that they don't need to make a massive one-time payment! In this blog post, we'll break down all the different payment options we offer that can help keep your investment budget-friendly. Let's get started!
Our Payment Plan Options:
- In House Pre-Session Payment Plans
- PayPal Credit
- Affirm
- Afterpay
In-House, Pre-Session Payment Plans (monthly or biweekly)
For those who want to have photos done and also have a flexible timeline on when they want to set up their session date (at least 2-3 months in advance), our in-house pre-session payment plans are the most popular payment plan option.
These payment plans are set up at the time you book in, and are designed to break down the total cost of your investment into monthly or biweekly chunks, at 0% interest.
These plans are designed to ensure you're paid-in-full at least 1 week before your session date, which means all you have to worry about is enjoying your session day and having fun designing any printed products you're interested in getting made up!
Pre-Session Payment Plans begin around the time you book in, and can be set up as far as 12 months ahead of your intended session date. So, if you want to book your session date a full year ahead, you can have a full 12-month payment plan for that date!
*Note: We do not offer payment plans that extend beyond your session date.
PayPal Credit
PayPal Credit is a favorite amongst clients! PayPal is one of the most highly-trusted digital payment systems out there, and we love that we can offer it to you as one of your payment options. We love both this option and Affirm as two alternatives for payment plans that extend past your session date.
When you choose to invest in a session collection through PayPal Credit, PayPal gives you 0% interest for 6 months, as long as you pay your balance off within that time frame.
But with our studio, if you choose to use PayPal Credit, you are considered paid-in-full!
Affirm
Affirm is so incredible! Affirm is similar to PayPal Credit, but offers longer payment plan terms. I've seen clients that are able to pay their balance as long as 18-24 months after their session date has occurred. That helps keep payments low and easily-digestible for clients who need more room in their monthly budget for other expenses, which is why we're so happy we can offer it as an option.
Heads up: Affirm usually charges interest!
Just like with PayPal Credit, you are considered paid-in-full with our studio if you choose to go on a payment plan with Affirm!
Afterpay
Most of us have utilized a pay-in-four plan before! Whether you've used Klarna, PayPal, Afterpay, or another service, we love those interest-free biweekly payments for all sorts of purchases.
For those who haven't used one before, Afterpay gives you the option to break your investment up into four chunks, with each chunk being paid every two weeks. Your first payment is due at checkout, and then your balance will be paid off over the next six weeks.
It's easy as pie, hassle-free, and interest free! And best of all, you're also immediately paid-in-full with our studio if you utilize this payment option at checkout.
