I have been shooting pics of friends and their kids for a year or so.
People who have seen my work at friends' houses are asking me shoot pics for
them.
I am now being asked 'What do you charge?'.

Well - what do I charge? For friends I have been gifting most prints, and
charging my cost for reprints.

What is a reasonable fee?
Do I charge a base rate for a set number of hours or rolls of film?
Then charge for reprints?

thanks
Eric
