I have marketed myself for family on location sessions @ $125 with either 11X or 16X @ $125 also, with some success. I'm still in the mining stage with my studio and tend to me more flexable with what I demand. I'm sure that once I'm as busy as Fuzzy is things will change.
Oh by the way, Fuzzy has a great book out (6th edition) called "Fuzzy Logic", you can order it thru his website and please tell him Ernst sent ya. Best money I've ever spend on a book.
Best regards, Ernst

Pretty darned confusing pricing. Session fee of $75 for engagement or
glamour portraits, $75 for family portraits, but $350 for high school
seniors? I know high school kids can be a lot of trouble, but this
looks batty. (Not that $350 is necessarily too high, but that the
divergence is so large. $75 looks rather too *low* especially for
location work, to me, if the pricing model is that the session fee
should cover the basic time and expenses.)
On the other hand, the photos he displays cover a *wide* range and are
generally very nice indeed.
