I used to like photography.
Well, I still do like photography, just not so much the people. I guess some of it's my fault for being too nice, although I am still awaiting a print order for a Christmas session (o.O) that just seems like I'm getting screwed. So, from now on every client will sign an agreement because apparently professional/common courtesy is a thing of the past. I'm tired of working hard on taking/editing these pictures and then waiting and waiting. I had planned on ordering my new phone today, but since not one but TWO clients {who both told me yesterday they would be by today with their order and $} were no-shows, I can't. So, yeah it probably made me a little more pissed off than I normally would be, but I think that's good.

a great way to do it is post the proofs and give them a time limit to order. Like say 2-3 weeks. If they don't order, too bad so sad. if you don't mind me asking, how much do you charge for a sitting. I charge a little more for a sitting, but then cost for the prints. i make money if someone orders the CD with the prints on it too:-)
Those things are exactly what I have implemented today. I'm going with 10 days for ordering and I already have my proofs in an online gallery. My sitting fees vary depending on event, and I don't charge much compared to most that I've seen. I'm from a small town and well, things around here aren't as expensive and I wouldn't have any business. And some days I wouldn't mind! lol I'm now going to tack on an extra $25 that is going to be a print credit toward packages and small prints.
