I have my first photography session and YES, I'm excited. It is for engagement photos. They have asked me if they decide not to purchase prints, how much I would charge for the digital proofs? So what DO I charge for this? Please help me, thanks!

    They want to buy the proofs to print them themselves usually. Figure out how much you would normally make of print sales, including future sales, then go from there. If you normally make $150 off sales, and then over the next year another $150, it's not unreasonable to charge them $300.00 for the digi proofs with printing rights. Actually $300.00 could even be a bit low. Thats how I do it and haven't had a problem.
