How many photos do you guys include in your E-Sessions? Let's say it's a 2 hour session. In my hands, that's roughly 50-100 photos.

EDIT: oops, could someone move this to the other Weddings/Family Events Forum?

Search is your friend; this has been discussed repeatedly. For me and two hours of shooting, I'll take a couple of hundred, but present 60-80.

I try to do a min of 20/hr and no more than 30/hr. 40/hr max.

I used to do as many as possible... i'm finding it very refreshing and time friendly to hit that delete button way more often.

I try not to count because I feel like that would make me push for just a number. If I see the opportunity, I shoot it. Usually in a two hour session, I'll come out with 100 +/-. But there is very little waste.
I shot for Bella Pictures for a while and their rule is 100 images/hour whether it's a wedding or engagement shoot. In my opinion, that's excessive. Just number counting all in the hopes of increasing their chances of getting some good images. Don't need it.

Cool. I was wondering what to expect to have in mind for a general "keeper" rate. I burst some shots to make sure no blinking/funky mouths/smiles, so I don't really count. However, when it does come time for me to do this I want to make sure I have my bases covered.
