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.

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.

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 never done that sort of thing
before. He essentially said the main thing the kids' parents are concerned
about is pricing, and feels pretty confident that I'm competent enough to
handle the task based on what he's seen.
Thing is, given my lack of experience, I'm not sure how much to charge these
parents. I can go through Walmart for the prints, which seem to be pretty
reasonably priced -- the standard sports package being $15.00. I don't know if
any of you have any experience in this type of work at all, but any guidance
would be much appreciated. I've never done any sort of professional work at
all, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how much I can fairly charge these people
for my work. But, I'd like to be able to make a buck or two someday, if only
to subsidize my photography addiction.
Are there any rules of thumb or standard formulas that I could go by, aside
from asking other local photographers what they're charging?
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give me.
Best,
Walt
