Photographer for your school events? ? for you...

[Mic_n_Min]

Our ECFE program would like to hire me as their 'official' photographer for the school year. This would include the ECFE family events, field trips, classroom photos and promotional photos for the program.

I have been doing this on a volunteer basis for the past couple of years, but would love to get paid for it as well. How much would you or have you gotten paid for something like this? The program director asked me to come up an amount and she will fit it into the budget.

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer!!

It depends on what they are paying you for. Are you offering prints? digital files? How much time will you spend in post processing for every hour you spend in the field? Do you have any costs (equipment, travel)?

I can't tell you what to charge but I can point you to a book that I use. It's called "Pricing Photography" and it pretty much covers everything.
