I was guessing the family portraits had a required print purchase (the web site says something half-suggesting that). It also looks like the web site is not current with the numbers you give (your $275 + $125 adds up to more than the fee given on the site). Anyway, good to know more about how a successful portrait photographer prices. > I have marketed myself for family on location sessions @ $125 with > either 11X or 16X @ $125 also, with some success.

Best money I've ever spend on a book. Interesting, missed that on the site.
