Default Viewing Session......

Had a conversation with another fellow photographer and it seems we both do different things

After you've got your shoot done and you've booked the clients to come back for the viewing session, would you let them know what your print / product prices are before hand or spring it on them once they're there?

You always outline your services/packages/products/pricing before hand.

He does? It seemed like he was asking what others do, rather than have us guess what he does. Anyway, I tell them upfront what my prices are.

I don't hide my prices, but I don't have time to go through all the options pre-sale either.

I give a range and answer specific questions or quote specific packages based on client needs.

I have a leaflet made up which details the prices, I hand this to my clients just before they leave and I show them the samples of things we have in the studio.

Forgot the "should" in there.
