Head Shot pricing - 09-29-2010, 01:46 PM


I need some help/advice. I'm still battling pricing, I have set my prices on $125 for the session fee and either a $350 or $500 print minium. I have a lady asking for pictures for her daughter, but she is an aspiring model and just wants some pics to send in to a modeling agency. How would you handle this situation.

Sell her the package??
Sell her only the prints she wants?? But what if she only wants 1 or 2 pics??? Not worth my time...

Or sell her the digital prints of 2 or 3 of their favorite pose/head shot?? And how much would I price that???

She was probably trying to get photos for the same agency I often shoot head shot packages for, they are heavily recruiting in the valley and was there 9/11/2010 for a mass session with 11 different models. I did a mini sessions, but 11 of them still took from 3pm to 11pm. I was approached by the agency to give a special rate since we were going to be doing an assembly line process with these beginning models ( I won't be doing this again )

The agency will use the files to produce "comp cards" so there is really no reason for prints.
