Prices are super close to free!
I consider doing the Skatium Ice Show photos each year my way to be a parent volunteer. Wonderful Christine covers the cost to rent the camera equipment by offsetting the cost of my children's skating(Thanks, Christine!). I volunteer my time to take, edit and distribute the photos.
If I'm are volunteering, why is there any charge at all?
To cover additional costs:
The mini profit per item will hopefully cover the costs for this website, photo software and processing fees. (about $350/year, not including fancy computer I'm still paying off that had to be purchased to finish last year's images!)
I only have 3 shows left :(
My daughter graduated last year and I am down to one skater and 3 more ice shows. I currently do not own the camera, and once I do not have skaters at the Skatium to offset, I will need to pay for my own rental or officially buy the equipment. The camera and lenses are around $6000. It's unlikely that $1 downloads and $1 markup on prints will ever touch that, but it's a start!
So...please, don't be shy, I would love to keep doing this.
Get big prints for your wall,
Get little prints to add to holiday cards,
Get magnets for school lockers or Grandmas fridge,
Get photo buttons for your skater's skate backbags or corkboards!
All purchases are shipped directly to you from a quality print shop with photo archival ink & paper. The prices are cheap, but the products are not!
