hey

brill idea hun, really think you should make some pocket monies from it too.

for purely editing, where someone sends you images, you edit them and send them back by email - tbh i have no idea what the sort of 'going rate' is so don't wanna act like i know what i'm talkin about. But from a personal view i think that, say 5 edits for £50, is something i would defo pay (bearing in mind i've not got a lot of monies and am a bit tight) so to others that may sound on the cheap side

if you were to edit and then send prints i would pay double that for the convinience and luxury of gettin actual photos.

and for the photos sessions that you do yourself, to me that seems extremely reasonable what you are charging at the min and if i lived near you i'd be round there right now hehehehehe

ps when you do decide on prices lol i'll defo be recommending you, my sister loves the ones you've already done, an i'm really excited about my ones in the queue

just seeking inspiration on line!! It'll be tomorrow before I can uplaod them as my linux laptop doesn't recognise camera.... oh and GIMP, it's freeware similar to photoshop etc... I can use it, but then try and use photoshop at work and I haven't a clue, the menus are all different!!

i bought my netbook cos it was cheap!!

I've got pics on my camera now, was quite good fun too! will email tomorrow...

Just something I found helpful might be good for others working with tripod/timer... I discovered my camera has custom timer settings, so I gavemyself 20 seconds to get ready, and then set it to do10 shots one after the other (about 3 secs between each..) meant much less to-ing and fro-ing!!

 

[pinkandfluffy]

Hello!

Just wanted to add my two pennies worth...even though I had seen wanabubba#4's pics last week before I sent you mine I didn't really know what to expect, and from what I sent you to what you gave back to me was just unreal!

I am MORE than happy for you to use my pics as the before and after if you wish, as I knew nothing about bump photos or shoots etc so I think it would be a great way for people to see what you can do with a photo. I didn't tell hubby I had taken the pics and I was quite shy to show him but he hasn't stopped going on about them!

Now that I know more about it I would happily pay what I did for re-prints of my wedding photos which was £5-£8 depending on the size, and then your labour on top.

What you have done is amazing and you really should earn something from it, I will happily reimburse you once you sort out your charges, and will likely send some more your way too!

Hope all your shoots went well this weekend xxx

 

[babybel]

Wow what a lovely lovely thread and so so generous of you. Im so jealous now, wish I was still pregnant lol. Pictures are truly beautiful

Hey girlies......

time to give me some feedback !!!!

Im getting lots of emails so im gunna have to shut my freebie list now im afraid.... congrats if you got your emails in to me in time ((p.s im including all you ladies from before this message who have told me to expect emails - you're safe))

you all seem to be pleased with what ive done for you ?? im so happy i could give you all the chance to capture your bump in such a way that you will look back on it and smile.... rather than grimace at the sight of your stretchmarks and maternity jeans lol xx

you lovely ladies have given me the confidence to start charging for this service. so im hoping you could give me some feedback with what i have in mind. x

prices for my edits and finished files via email.... im thinking along the lines of

1 - £15
2 - £25
5 - £50

i was thinking of opening a facebook group especially for this service, separate from the 'photography by stephanie(based in essex)' one that i have already. that way, people can see what ive done already and if theres a certain style or type of edit then they can request it..... yer?? xx

and im thinking payable by paypal as i use it regularly already.....

so what dya think ???? x

OH.... new email for edits is......

i would definatly pay them prices for my next bump. for your eyes only do a baby bump photo shoot, which when i was looking last year was around £100 and you only got 1 photo i think (might have changed now i dont know) so to be able to take pictures in the comfort of your own home then have them professionally edited, i think you'll get alot of business. you'll have to post your facebook group when your set up so i can add you for next time lol.
