Kinda sorta baby related: Photography question

How much should someone who is starting out in the business charge?  The only newborn/children photos she has taken is of her nephew and she is wanting branch out and get more experience in that area.  (She has taken lots of other types of photography however).  She has no clue what to charge, so I thought I'd ask ya'll. 

What would you pay in that situation.  Right now she is looking at taking the pictures and then giving the cd of the images...your choice if she plays around and edits...so for that what would you pay?

  • I would say a $35-$40 sitting fee would be fair. Maybe $4 per 4x6 proof. $8 per 8x10. My figures are on the cheap side since you said she is just starting out. My photographer charged $100 for a cd with all the images. I thought that was rediculous.
