What to Provide Clients Regarding Digital Files

[SamClarkPhotography]

I am currently working on my 'final touches' on a wedding I shot earlier this week. My clients are getting a CD / DVD with the hi-res files on it for them to e-mail or print as they wish. Here's my question/curiosity; do you give your clients the 'regular photos, edited' and the 'artistic edits'? Or just the artistic ones?

I am talking beyond B&W and Sepia. I have a few 'HDR' style ones, and some 'selective desaturations', etc...

I like the artistic ones, but am not sure about my clients.

Thanks!

Subjective; I provide lightroom-ed photos, which means color and exposure correction and color enhancement. I also often provide black & white. However, I spend more time on processing than I really should for what I charge, and so I end up making about $15/hour for all the time I put in.

See my website portfolio for what I provide.

I provide the customer whatever I could do in Bridge, in color, with B&W or sepia versions of photos I like that way. I charge a reasonable fee for my time though.

Contracts are important.
