I have just completed portrait shoots at 2 local nursery's.

My price list is priced per print and I have also offered Canvas prints and Photo Montage canvas prints.

I am just beginning to get a response and one parent has just sent me an email asking if they are obliged to buy prints etc or would i be willing to sell her my files with images of her daughter.

I have no idea what to charge for this and if i should do it atall.

Im charging £8 for one 5 x 7 print and I have 22 images of her daughter.
22 x £8? Or is that too much.

Any suggestions or advice??

:)
 
I would say that the 22 X £8 is high but then she is obviuosly going to take the files and get the printed elsewhere to lessen her costs.

maybe £50 for the best 10 images. at least then she saves money (£3 per pic) and you get the sale ? otherwise no sale and the images cant be used for anything else. you could find that once word gets out that this is an option lots of people start asking for this. and maybe a discreet watermark in a corner of the image will get you some free advertising too
 
No, that's not too much to sell her an exclusive and non-expiring licence to use your images as she see's fit. I'd charge more than that to be honest.
 
Files are worth more than prints

Why does she want files? If to place on facebook then sell her 600pixel wide pics at none printable dpi and at mim 8 quid.. maybe less..your choice

If she wants full size prints then I would refuse as she is going to have them printed.. probably one for each granparent, aunti, uncle etc
 
Is it because people look at Photobox, see 5x7 prints at 20p and think you're ripping them off.

Our school photographer sold packages of photo's or individual images at full res with all rights for £30 or £35 (sorry can't remember which).

Loads of parents moaned to me about it, but I did point out it was his way of earning a living, plus they could do what they liked with the image. I bought the one really good image and complimented the photographer on his selling strategy.
