The whole reason I started to do photography as a more than a hobby was because it shouldn't cost so much to have nice pictures. When Gavin was born I had a local professional do our pics. They turned out ok but he was 3 months old before we got our 11 proofs and dvd. I had wanted to use the pics as a birth announcement...needless to say that did not happen. I paid $100 to wait 3 months on 11 4x5s and a dvd that I couldn't rip the pictures from. There were more pics but i really just refused to pay more than the required $100 minimum.
I have a $25 session fee. That pays me for my time basically..which for you is an hour or 2 generally speaking.
After that I spend some time editing each picture taken. From there I post them to my web gallery where you and whomever you share your password with can view them. ((the password is optional and at no additional cost but not everyone chooses it)) Once you have had time to look over everything you choose what you want to purchase and in what size.
Never will I ever do a walmartish package where you have a million and one of the SAME pose! There is no minimum purchase, you buy what you love, but trust me you will love pretty much all of your images ;)
Individual pictures prices are subject to change but I will say my images are priced about $5 less than area photographers.
