I've always LOVED taking pictures and have been into photography for a while.
A friend of mine saw pictures I posted of myself on my website, and he offered me $150 to do a photo shoot for him. I gladly did it and it turned out amazing. He loved it... everyone loved it. It was the first photo shoot I ever did. And it was this summer. It took 2-3 days total... editing and everything.
And now I have a friend who wants me to take engagement photos. She saw the pictures I took from the photo shoot. But I'll be in school taking 15 hours. I still am really eager to do it. Do you think asking for maybe $200 instead (or perhaps more) is fair... since the 1st photoshoot was during the summer, and I had more time? Plus, photo shoots nowadays cost hundreds / thousands of dollars as it is........ I think I'm being quite reasonable........ right?

Wedding pictures do cost sometimes several hundreds of dollars but, they are professionally done. If she is willing to chance her biggest day on a " I did it once" shoot kodoos to her. I would charge alittle bit more but I would have her sign something that waivers blame from you if they don't turn out.

To me, it's reasonable because it's your own time. Not only that, but most people do pay a lot for engagement! =) It would be a bargain for them if you were to take their pictures. Great skills you got there. Go for it! =) If not, there would be other opportunities after school.

You're an amateur, so $200 is OK, and if you are good as you say, then they have a bargain - just don't screw up.

$300 is more reasonable. Make sure you get a living wage.
