[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 484362, member: 23493"] Yeah hard to know how best to quote. For weddings, people book me to 6,8,10 or 12 hours. How long I spend meeting with them beforehand, processing, burning their images, uploading etc doesn't come into it. I have factored all that into my pricing structure. I have also quoted on things like this on a piecemeal basis... ie - 40 items at $5.00 each. Go with what you feel comfortable with. I would factor into your price everything you will be doing rather than itemising ($2.50 / item to shoot, $1.5 to process, $0.50 to burn images on a disk etc)... otherwise they will think they can pick and choose what they want. You are providing a service, quote should be for the entire service. Hourly rate can work for this scenario - and you just need to be as accurate as possible if quoting like this. If the client is happy to pay the 5 hr price and it only takes you 2, awesome! You go! But be careful of it being the other way. Thinking it will only be a 2 hr job but in reality it takes you 5.
