    Hi all, I'm new to the photography section but have been admiring all of the challenges ye have been doing over the last few months so keep up the good work!Just real quick, I was wondering could anyone throw me a rough estimate for a family portrait in Limerick. Big enough size, maybe a little bigger than A3? I'm not familiar with the official sizes so apologies.Cheers,Rhunce

    The size you want isn't as important as the photographer that you choose.

    The photoshoot is what will cost you the most money.. prints just involve running off copies of the work the photographer has done.
    Some photographers might insist you get your prints through them (which is their right) but the session will still be the guts of the price.

    For someone down in the Limerick area should be around €250-€400 framed including sitting, I did one for a family in their home for €300 including the other files on disk. Setup was a large white background and took around an hour and a half to complete. The mother and daughter went through the selection of pictures after the shoot and picked out around 15 that I touched up and emailed on for the final selection to be framed.

    Prices may change if you go into a studio, I work in the clients house

    If you go to a studio, it's usually the opposite from what I've seen. Shooting fee's are anything from free to €150. Usually in and around the 80/100 mark. Prints are fairly pricey but there can be a good bit of work involved in processing shots. 10x8's start around €50 and bigger prints/canvas can go up to €5/600

    I'd be more along the lines of Keith's price but for a big studio there are the kind of prices you're looking at :)
