Depends on who you're catering to. In family photos it's probably not much more than an 8x10, but for what I do (gallery-style wall prints), most of my shots are between 12x18 and 20x30

For dog sport events, 5x7 is by far the most popular size.

For portraits, 16x20 is for the moment, but I'm trying to edge that up to 20x24.

Look less at which product has the highest volume and more at which produces the highest profits over time. I specialize in high school senior photography. Naturally, wallets are the most purchased because I'm often selling them in large quantities to a single client. However, with other products I'm making profit of say $700 on a single product. So even though they sell less they are technically a higher source of income.

Just saying don't focus so much on what they buy a lot of but rather what they spend a lot on.
