[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally normal. It was most likely all spelled out in the contract you signed or their price list. Why are you expecting to get something for free?[/quote]

I'm not expecting anything for free. I spent 2k on prints.

I bought the session at a charity event via a fundraiser and it wasn't spelled out at the time. I wasn't informed actually until AFTER we had done the shoot about this or any pricing. [/quote]

Well then, lesson learned. Read the fine print!

Photographers spend hours that you do not see working on your photos. They make their money selling the photos in all formats after the shoot. Good, high end photographers do the pricing the way you see it.[/quote]

Agree. Just pay the damn money.  It's not just snapping pics and sending them to you straight from the camera. There are touch ups on those, sizing, and also the session planning (to get the shots, lighting, etc.) It's an art. Plus, her admin costs (e.g., upkeep for Photoshop, billing platforms, her time, etc.)

I'm just a hobbyist but, even for my pics (which are decent but not professional), its a LOT of work.[/quote]
