    I have some friends who actually want to pay me more than or the same as my usual fees particularly because we're friends. Of course I've had the opposite expectation too (free to cheap). What I'm saying is that the "friends & family discount" doesn't necessarily have to be part of the equation every time.

    Usually I do a combo fee structure...a session/creative fee so that I'm covered for my setup and shoot day, equipment investment, keeping the lights on, etc. Then I have a per image charge so that if they ask me to process & deliver 40+ images or something which takes another day or two out of my life, then I'm covered for that too.

    Whatever you end up doing, be fair & realistic to both your client AND yourself.
