How much experience do you have shooting portraits!? There is no difference in the fees charged when shooting children than adults !.!.!. if anything, you may be able to charge more!.

The way many "kidnappers" make their money is to charge $30 to shoot 20 or 30 shots of the children and then come back and make their money selling prints to the parents and grandparents!. It is not unusual for the sales from the session to exceed $250 per child!.

You may want to spend a few week working as a contract photographer for a "kidnapping" photo studio (they send you to the homes of the children) and get a feel for how they work, before you start selling photo coupons door to door!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
