Tanya,
Sounds like a pretty reasonable plan, I guess. Only a couple of things to think about:
Plan for repeat business. Giving them 70-80 5x7's will assure that they will be awash
in photos for the foreseeable future. Maybe forever. You have a pretty good eye, but I
don't think you're yet at the point where you can come up with 70-80 shots that are
unique and different enough from one another, as well as photographically valid, as to
warrant including them all.
Also, you don't want to shoot your wad right away. If you use up every single idea you
have, what are you going to do next time? A smaller number of carefully edited and
arranged portraits will work better for you, because the clients will be impressed
with your work, you leave room for reorders (which will be non-existent if you deliver
80 5x7's), AND, possibly most important, the client will begin to think of the next
session.
And speaking of reprints, keep the prices up there on them. If folks figure out that
the reprints are cheaper than the initial package, they'll cheap you on the first
order and then reorder you to death.
Entirely up to you,
Doug
