You have some decent shots here. One thing I would point out when shooting a series of shots of the same person is to try to keep the skin tones close. Different types of lighting will produce different shades and variance in warm and cool but the underlying tone should stay the same. In these shots you have some that are more magenta like the second and then the 2 graduation shots are a bit cyan. It's always a good idea to lay the shots out side by side and look at the skin tone sometimes the skin tone will look fine when viewed alone but put next to other shots it will look off.

Ah, appreciate the feedback! I didn't even think about that. Very good point. TYVM! The cap and gown one was taken about a month after the other shoot. I see what you're talking about. Thanks again.

People have already pointed out the color issue, but these are better than a lot I've seen charging for senior style photos.

There is work for any photographer at any given price point. These are better than many paid professional senior pics I've seen, so yes, they are good enough for paid work. you have some post processing to do, but many customers wouldn't see what WE see in that regard.

I agree with everything above, including seeing other photographers making a living selling way less quality work.

Before you run out and start advertising away be sure you are happy with what you produce and that you are comfortable with the end product representing you.

Well i must say this is a common question that drives me nuts. If you are shooting and you think your work is good enough for what you saw at that moment then by all means its worth selling. No one person is gonna please everyone thats why its "art" as long as you and your client are happy youhave done your job.
