Hey guys anyone can help me set up some pricing on first communion pics. My girlfriends little sisters have her first communion and her parents want me to snap some shots for her. I wont charge them cause theyve helped me alot in some pretty tight spots but for the other parents there maybe try to get some shots of their kids and either sell em in a package or by the photo. Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks Alot!!!:D

I sell a simple package of the kids recieving their communion 8x10, and one of them standing in front of the alter either alone or with their family for $30
I make this deal with the school and group of about 70 students all getting their communion at the same time. Works out great I usually get a package order from about 90% of the families.

I really think that if you are going to be offering this to other parents this should be advertised long before the day of the event. This also gives them the chance to evaluate your work by looking to your website for a review.

IMO, it would be in extremely poor taste to be handing out flyers and/or business cards at a communion or other such events that are very special to families.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

I took this into consideration. I want to prepare or next year because she is still going to the classes and their family has uncles that are priests at the church and are very close with them so i can kinda wiggle in a few flyers for the teachers. The communion is still 16 days away so its kinda of late to be showing them but if people want them i guess it would work. Most of them are relatively wealth so it wouldn't hurt =)
