The problem is there are other photographers out there who are
charging $15 and making money off of it. They use cheap labor and
churn out the pictures fast.
They are making money by being the exclusive provider of services and
offering up-sells of the basic package.
I personally wouldn't pay
If it were me I'd double or triple the Walmart price and call it good.
$50 or less is something most parents would find reasonable and it's
not a lot of money for you, but it does compensate you a bit for your
time.

I agree, Tom. I figure I'll start out doubling it -- $30 per pkg.
That seems like a reasonable price, and given that I don't have any
experience at this type of photography at all, I wouldn't feel
comfortable asking more than that, really.
Thanks for the input.

Say there are 20 team members and you spend 2 hours shooting. At
$50
an hour that's a hundred bucks. Split 20 ways, that's $5 per
team member.
Package from Walmart is $15, so your cost per package is $20.
Your price should be between $80 and $140 per package.

Also, it just occurred to me that I can call my sister to find out what
she's been paying for pictures of her school-aged kids, and see if I can
low-ball that a smidgen, given my lack of experience or sizable portfolio.
I think you're going to find Walmart's price is
Actually, when I called her yesterday, she said she'd paid a little
over $30 for a package similar to the Sports Package. So, that's
right in my range. I will check around to see if I can get a better
price, though. But, I live in a pretty small town, so the options -- at
least as far as
And, just like that, I discover that Walgreens has a much better
package for $9.99. Not too shabby.

Hi all,
So, here's my situation. I ran into an old high school friend who's
coaching several athletic teams. He's seen some of my photography and
asked if I'd be interested in doing some team photos for them -- soccer
and basketball. I told him I'd be interested in doing it, but I've

Walter,
First, a disclaimer.
I don't think my opinion would be a representative one on this matter
either from a typical photographer's point of view, or from the potential
clients': I don't fit the typical profile.
So, take it with a grain of salt.
What to charge - is a hard question.

Thanks, John.
I think that's a probably an excellent guide to go by down the road when
I do more involved portraiture. What I'm envisioning in this situation
is more like pictures made at school, where they move them through like
cattle. I figure, if I can do a decent job at making the
Hi Igor,
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer in such detail. You've
given me quite a bit to think about, here. Given that I'm
brand-spanking-new at this, I'm hesitant to dive in with too much
ambition. As I mentioned in my reply to John, I envisioned a kind of
picture mill
Hi Paul,
I think you've got a pretty good handle on the photography I'm thinking
about here. And, considering the friend I spoke to was talking about
seven different teams, that $240 per team (or thereabout) will add up to
a nice gear purchase for future use.
Also, it just occurred to me
Maybe I'm just an old poop, but he would never get $240 out of me, and I guess
alot of other parents today.

That's $240 per team, not per person -- which, I think, would be
exorbitant.
