Do 15 shots (30 photos then...heck, I wouldn't even double!), take out a 5x7 and throw in 8 wallets, drop the price by $20 and I'll buy it, but only if it's on Kodak!

My aunt is a photographer...check out her site...I don't know if she has prices on it though.

She totally started from scratch and just kept getting her name out and doing every job she could and now she is doing really well!!
Good luck!
I think your package/pricing is MORE than reasonable...TOO reasonable!!! Give your *art* some credit. I know you want it to be affordable but don't cut yourself short!

Can you travel to Arizona? I would definitely pay that for great pictures of my son. I hesitate because of the high cost of professional pics. I never like the studio portraits and ones at my house or a place or my choosing would be heaven

You must have loooots of photos of your family, don't you?
'Do 15 shots (30 photos then...heck, I wouldn't even double!), take out a 5x7 and throw in 8 wallets'
that is good advice. You don't want too many photos because then people get overwhelmed can't/don't want to make any more orders because they can't decide. AND kids get too cranky if you 'work' them too much
That is exactly what I was thinking - I don't want too many photos b/c then people can get overwhelmed. But on the other side I don't wanna waist my day driving somewhere and take one roll of film. Kids' should be ok, I don't reallt like setting up situations, like studio portraits, so I would just spend some time with the family and take photos of their kids running around, playing, their favorite time, like bathing ir on the swing....something like that.
you do not want to charge too little and do TONS of work for no profit at all.
I know, but trust me, I would have a profit. I am not doing the photos by hand, they will be done in photo lab until I get my own darkroom, but even then I still have color done in lab. I agree I do wanna put price on my skills, but for me it is an oportunity to learn more then anything at this point and gaining lots of experience and customers.
I need to make enough profit to buy better equipment.On the other side I don't wanna be too cheap so people would think I probably suck if I can't put a good price on my work.....KWIM?

Anyway, after your advise I have added another package:
15 photos 4x6 (all twice) and 8 wallet photos for $90 - does it sound ok?
And I'd still keep the other packages.
Something it's a big family - like 3 or 4 (or more) kids it's easy to shoot 3-4 rolls of film, it goes by really fast, so I think I still wanna keep the big (50 photos)
package as an option.
Thank you again!
