    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.

    To each their own. If I shot family type stuff I would do prints but I rarely do.

    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.
