2023-2024 Photography Rates by Angelika Ursula Dietrich
A personal note regarding fees:
I have volunteered my photography skills at many local events, including community, cultural, and high school sports, and will continue to do so. Even though I am not guaranteed a paycheck for my work from picture sales at such events, I enjoy the opportunity to give back to my community. However, I cannot survive without prospecting paid assignments as a business.
Professional photography equipment is expensive, not to mention costs for travel, insurance, equipment maintenance, computers, industry-standard software, online merchant sites, and the time it takes to edit pictures professionally.
If you want a professional photographer who throws her heart and soul into her work at Junior Rodeos, Rodeos, Barrel Racing, and community events, including parades and PowWows, contact me. I may have some time slots open to come to your event.
PLEASE NOTE: The following events will always be a part of
“Giving back to my community” assignments:
• TAMKALIKS (official photographer)
• High School Sports
• Wallowa County Fair and Junior Rodeo
