Finally, my first baseball of the season

Thanks OT & John. Price is a touch subject, not for me, but when I tend to say how much I charge it usually opens a can or worms, oh well, nothing better than a can of worms.

When I'm hired to shoot a single kid during a game I charge $75 for the first hour and then $25 for each additional 1/2 hour. If I'm hired to shoot the whole team during a game then it's $25 per a parent / player with a minumum of $250. All of my pictures are given to the parent / team as digital files on a CD / DVD, depending on size.

I will say that I do this on the side, more for the enjoyment of shooting and excitement knowing that people are buying my work. I have a full time job that pays the bills, this just gets me the extra money to buy the equipment I want.

Thanks again for the comments.

I'd say that's a fair price. If the parents had a problem with it, they'd say so, I'm sure. I don't think you'd get any argument about the quality, and as long as you're providing the service, then you should charge accordingly. Nice work.
