So I want to do two things. One sell things I dont use or want anymore. Like DVD's, Games, clothing, My wedding dress. And then I want to sell some of my photos I have taken and had people offer to buy some prints for me.
The problem is this. I cannot for the life of me charge people for photos I take. I mean. I can but I feel bad. Just because I have NEVER taken a college class. I DONT have an awesome camera. I have No way of getting prints before I make money. Its to expensive. I mean I can go to Costco and get prints but they are not great quality. I want canvas, poster, and thicker paper for them to print on. I did sell my picture of the SLC temple once. It is one of the most favorite pictures I sell. But that is pretty much it.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm let me brain storm and get back to you guys on that one. I have also done a TON of photo shoot lately. And all of them free. Which is bad I know. But again, college, camera and it goes on. I k now it is not the camera that makes the photo good. Its the photographer. But still... its hard for me to charge.
Ok... that is my vent. I am not awesome like some people in their blogging abilities But I try.

I have a hard time charging too for similar reasons. I charge mostly to make it worth my time away from my family, but it's not nearly what I should.
You are such a generous person. Even if you don't have a so-called "amazing" camera,you are still taking time out of your schedule to take pictures. I think most people would be willing to pay you $20 just for that. I think your pictures are awesome!
Good luck with selling those items!
You are so fabulous to take pics of my kids for me so I don't have to pay $60 for a few shots. Love ya!
Karla... I never have taken a college class for photos either.. Have confidence, and accept the offer to pay when they come (I know how you feel though, sometimes I still struggle with those same feelings) As for prints, I would have them pay before you deliver them, that way you can have your printing costs covered up front.
Much love!
