Making photography more affordable
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – From engagements and weddings to new babies and high school graduations, there are so many of life's moments that we want to remember forever. However, hiring a professional photographer to capture those moments isn't always an option because of the price tag that can come along with it.

'When I got into the industry, just from experience of looking for photographers myself, I realized that it can be quite the pretty penny to get your photos taken,' photographer Jade Ericson said. 'Whether that be family photos or senior sessions or business branding, whatever it is, it can come with quite a hefty price tag.'
Jade Ericson has been working as a photographer for five years now, often operating out of the Studio 1912 in east central Sioux Falls. She says offering more affordable sessions is important to her.
'I don't want photography to be something that only a select few people are able to get done,' Ericson said. 'I think it's super important that everybody gets to capture, you know, those milestones or memories.'
Ericson now also wants to give out a free photography session each month.
'I really would like these shoots to go to someone that really isn't able to afford anything or, you know, they maybe had a sickness in the family and times are just a little bit tough and we need kind of a a pick-me-up,' Ericson said.
If you or someone you know could use a session like that, Ericson says you can just reach out via email and social media.
'I would love to donate a shoot a month and just be able to give back to the community a little bit through my business,' Ericson said.
Ericson's services include lifestyle, family, senior and engagement photography.
