It seems to me that one of the biggest complaints people have about photographers when they hire them, is paying for things they don't need. I think this problem arises when photographers charge people X amount of dollars for X amount of time and photos. I know I wouldn't want to pay for something I don't need. What if I only needed five photos, and an hour of time, but the photographer only has a package that is two hours of time and includes 10 photos, but the price is four times as much? No, thank you.
This is why I have decided to change the way I charge for sessions. I use to be the same way, and charge X amount of dollars for X amount of time. Instead, I will now determine what my client's budget is, how many photos they actually need, estimate the amount of time it will take, and then charge them accordingly, regardless of how much time it will actually take. This way, the clients receives exactly what they need at a price that works within their budget. Yes, this will take more time on both parts, but I think my clients will be happier with this format.
