HELP! - Senior Portrait Pricing

Hello All!

So I've been into photography for about 4 years now and I'm 17 years old. I don't consider myself a professional. But people really like my work. Anyway, I knew this time would come someday and I should've been ready with an answer...but alas, I was not. SO, I just got asked if I do senior portraits and if so, how much do I charge. I don't have a clue how to charge for senior portraits! And I need to get back to this girl asap because she is asking on account of herself and two of her friends. That'd be three people! Anyway, since I'm not the best of the best...I don't want to charge outrageously...what would be a GOOD deal to charge? $100? Or how does it work. Like $60 for a one hour session and maybe $125 for a two hour session? I have no idea how it works. So please help me as soon as you can!

Much appreciated!!!

Hi there.

There are a lot of threads discussing pricing and including senior portraits, new photographers, etc. on the Earning with Photography forum. I suggest you start by searching there for your answer and how to charge. Good luck with it all.

Thank you! I'll post it there.
