Any problems with this?

Around my area, the average sitting fee is between $75/150. The prints are usually more than I have charged above.

Really appreciate any thoughts.

I think it completely depends on your market, the clientele you intend to cater to and obviously your talent & skill not only as a photographer but also a 'people person.' Yours is a hard question to answer.

Nat,
I too am trying to get my price list together. I feel you are definitely talented enough to charge as much as your region/market can pay. I had a friend take pictures of me and my Rhoo a couple of years ago, and he just gave me the CD, which is really all I wanted. Not many people want a pic of either me or my dog, so I wouldn't be interested in a big package, but would be interested in a large print and would gladly pay for a cd with all images. Good luck with your price list and let us know what you decide on. Another thought, perhaps poll some of your potential clients how they would ideally want them. I know alot of people say don't give them the cd, but I feel if that's what people want, give it to them, but charge accordingly.
