For those that meet clients on location and do a x amount of pictures on a disk, for x amount of $s. Obvouisly this type set up is just a quick set up and shoot with very little PP if any. But do you just burn to a blank cd and write in sharpie on the disk and then put in cd case and be done with it? Or do you print a label ahead of time with say clients name and date and then just burn pictures onces the shoot is completed.
My wife knows a few people that are looking for this sort of thing so I figured I could make few bucks. I still want it to look professional in case they decied to come back and want more indepth or special occasion pictures done.
My on-location business portraits are delivered in one of two ways these days, depending on what service the client wants. When I do on-location business portraits, these days, it is usually also a same-day delivery. I'm usually aiming, in fact, to deliver the finished images before I leave the premises.
I had formerly been taking a slender LightScribe burner with me to burn the finals (lightly 'Shopped) to a disk and then to burn a label on the disc (on-location disc-burning is my only use for LightScribe). I use Acoustica labeling software, which handles both LightScribe label making as well as inkjet label making on my Epson Artisan 810.
These past couple of months (my on-location portrait season actually peaks in January and February when my regular clients update their images) I've been immediately uploading the images to Dropbox (using my phone to tether my laptop to the Internet) and giving the client a Dropbox link. They all have preferred that to discs so far.
