Dear Everyone,

In my last post here, I was so worried about not being able to take decent portraits of a baby for a Christmas gift that I never even considered what it would mean if they came out very well! Thanks to your kind advice, the baby portraits were so well received that I now have two different people who are asking me for my rates. I have no idea what is appropriate to charge anyone for portraits that may or may not come out very well.

One request is from a woman who is expecting a child and who would like me to come to the hospital after the birth to take pictures of the newborn and another is from the mother of a four-month old girl. I know it takes me an hour or two to take the pictures and then quite a few hours more to sort through them and do postwork.
Keeping in mind that this is Belgium, I don't suppose anyone has any idea what I should be telling these people regarding fees and such? I feel way out of my league! And yet they like my work! 

It's all quite flattering. And while it is an honour to be entrusted with creating memories of special moment's in people's lives, it is a considerable responsibility and I feel no small amount of pressure not to mess things up.

As always, your advice will prove invaluable. Best wishes to you all.

Sincerely,
Stefanie
