    Well I currently charge 125 dollars for a 1 hour session, unlimited editing and a single 24x36 poster print.

    So yah I think 70 each is a little on the high side

    Yah well that is just a single print. Customer a that pricing has zero rights to the photos. Photo CD/Web images are not included. Was just going off print pricing

    Just wanted to quote this so we can remember it when you complain about having to edit a photo 20 times. hahaha I never offer unlimited editing, that is asking for trouble.

    I rarely make prints. Depending on the client, once they pay for the shoot I do several hi res images with my watermark on them so they can print them. 2 for $25 is not bad but normally I see 1 for $25 most places.

    Some do but if you try and charge for prints then you kill any money you could make. It is hard to make money shooting models cause so many GWC's with an SLR think they can shoot and will do it for free. Then I get to hear horror stories of GWC's making lewd comments, inapropriate touching, uncomfortable situations, and trying to turn a shoot into a porn shoot. I hear it all the time and it is just getting worse.

    Yep. It is sad and they know that girls lose a lot of inhibitions when they are in front of the camera.

    I believe "Guy's with Camera". IE those people that basically want to see the girl or get the nude shots or suggestive nude. Not going it for the client to use for something.
