Are you looking for an online solution or on the spot. Candids or formals? My suggestion to have order forms and collect money up front and then fulfill the orders. Make sure you get their email address on the form and then you can push additional online sales of the event etc.

It's harder to drive people to a website after the fact.

I use Exposure Manager for on line sales. Very fast and efficient.

Have them fill out an order form and give you the money at the event.

If you try to make sales after the event only, you'll be dissapointed. Most people will just go on line and look at themselves and never order anything.
You have to use the energy from the event when they are excited, etc.

Another vote for having an order form for them to fill out and pay at the event. Figure your price, add sales tax, then round up to the nearest $5.00 so you don't have to take a lot of change. Offer at least three packages starting at around $15.00 for a couple of 5X7's. PM me your e-mail if you want a copy of mine.
