Pricing for church group - PhotoCamel

AJW390 · 11-19-2007

I have been asked to take some shots in a church service for their new website and I am asking for any advice from all of you great camel people on what to charge for this type of session. I am not a member of this church and was referred from a member in that church. Would it be more appropriate to charge what I charge for a group shot or do I charge based on the 1 hour that I will be there....I am just not sure which would be considered the best way to go??

Thank you for any advice in advance!

Charge per hour and offer images suitable for displaying on the web.

Your time is not just the 1 hour you are there though. Setting up time, travel time, expenses, post processing.... I would probably charge a half day rate depending on the times they need you there.

Thanks EOS_JD! I do realize that it is more than the 1 hour....believe me I do LOL!!I guess I should have stated that more clearly. Some of the church services around here go for 3 hours depending on the nationality they are from. Thanks for your input!
