Okay. So we're talking about making money, not about hobbies. By "business" I am presuming activities that pay expenses and produce a profit over the long term.

The client lived 5 minutes away from where I live. So I asked what the attorney wanted in the end in terms of prints, etc... He just wanted high res digital downloads. So I computed a price for the full gallery of digital downloaded images plus an hourly rate for doing the shoot, and I sent an invoice for that price. Cameras: 1DX, 1D4, 20D, 10D, S90, G2
