While I agree with that photographer in general, she makes mistakes in her calculations. 1. She says that she does wedding photography 4 months per year. Then her business expenses, as she portrays them: insurances (professional, ...), car expenses, etc. - should be only calculated for 4 months.
2. Overall - it is not a "full year job". It's a 4-5 months job, - a seasonal job. It's like a personal tax return preparer: you cannot live on that income the entire year; you have to do some other job during the rest of the year. Or, - she shouldn't say that "family portraits, senior portraits and corporate jobs" is a way of getting out of the "hole". In my view, - that's still a part of a full-time photographer's business. Many creative jobs have the components that need to be done to provide the rest. But even with that - she isn't swimming in money just because she is charging $3k for a wedding package.
