BTW, a combination of a low fee and modest print prices seemed to be the only method that really produced results when it came to shooting kids. There's a lot of competition out there. And I found that the idea that the first $100 worth of prints were already paid for resulted in a larger total order. Beer money plus some left over for lenses is about all one can expect to earn from kid photography, but beer and lenses are good things!
