Wonderful excellent work Michelle. But I knew they would be great. Don't consider myself a pro, but I do work as an assistant for one and do work on the side for myself. So here goes. The only stopping people from scanning or printing themselves is their concsious. My boss and I still use the proof system for clients. One it gives them something visible to hold and look at, as well as family and friends who might not have a pc yet. It also usually leads to some extra cash as most will buy all the proofs if they are reasonably priced, at 3 bucks a pop you can make some quick change since sitting fees should have covered your costs for it already. For the cd, I use them as an extra. My boss, not yet, she feels rural areas aren't ready for it. She's a bit stone aged. Just burned 10 cd's of a wedding I did last month for archiving and to correct for overexposure. Cause sometimes equipment fails and you don't know it did. I always include a cd for the couple, cost of course included in my fee. Would love to see a wedding done by you.. Would be some sweet shots. Weddings are a blast to do. And the anxiety is a good thing, it means you care about doing it right. If you can get into seniors, and get your name out there. Scads of money to be made. If you're good, and you are, you can make more at that than you can at weddings. We average between $300-$1000 after costs. And that's in rural Iowa. I know some photogs are charging $250-$500 just for their sitting fee. I say go for it Michelle..
