Photography Pricing List
Photography Pricing?
I am a student photographer and I am having trouble making a price list for people. I do portraits of kids, adults, couples, family, whatever. Anyway, I dont really want to offer prints of the pictures, I was thinking of just giving them all the pictures on a cd. I know alot of people who want to do pictures just to put on their myspace LOL... so what do u guys think would be a fair price to offer as I am still a student and learning but I do a good job?

Thanks!
Thanks for your answers. I actually think the same thing that one of you said about the posing. I think the pictures come out good but I do lack the posing skills!!! So I will look into setting up poses better. Thanks everyone!
Be careful of selling yourself short. As a photography student myself, I never felt confident in charging a lot of money, as well, I always gave up the negatives (before digital) because it was easier. But your bread and butter are in those prints they want to get. If you give them a cd, make them low res for online only, or watermark them. For pricing, you need to shop around with other photographers in the area. They are the competition. Call local photographers and ask them pricing questions, just tell them you are an interested client. Or ask others you know in the biz. Then charge a little under what they charge since you are a student. My experience is that if you start out with certain bad business practices as a student, it's hard to give them up when you turn pro, so make sure you do it right from the begining.
