I have once and didn't think twice about it being OK or not. No problem

I've always been happy with my Epson Artisan 800. :)

6670K outside, 5260 indoors w/ window light and 3230 during receptions (Nikon WB increments... Canon close, but not exactly the same).

I have an ExpoDisc but don't use it. There are essentially 3 white balances that I use on the Kelvin scale through the day and find them close enough or better (I shoot RAW).

Call your insurer. Explain. Ask.

Tough one - I'd probably grant them the benefit of doubt and squat on their images until paid in full. What would you do?

I post teaser images to my Facebook business page and tag my clients. In most cases these generate a healthy amount of responses and has a huge reach. Comments and reach are how I measure whether my page (and my photographic vision) are on track.

I include raves/testimonials on my site yet have no evidence whether they are a factor when prospective clients are considering me. I've never asked or solicited a testimonial and don't plan to.

Hi use both of these lenses a ton. The 35mm and 85mm are on each body most of the day.

I like the 85 for isolating things during storytelling and for the extra stops of light when necessary while reserving the 70-200 for making beautiful images with creamy bokeh.

There is a storytelling aspect possible with the 70-200 during day like during the ceremony, but I really think of this as a gorgeous portrait lens with how I approach my work.

My invoicing system requests that they remit payment to me at my business address.

If people choose to pay by card, it's no problem: My mark-up can easily withstand the 3% hit.

I research what my costs will be and quote accordingly. Travel costs are due at the time of the retainer. Airfare is non-refundable.

I think you need to add a Save As step to your action before batching.

Another great tool to be aware of is Dr. Brown's Services for CS5/CS6. http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html

'Company' and 'Customer' are established in an introductory paragraph.

Re: Contract Delivery Parameters

Mine is pretty boilerplate and not lovey-dovey... It's clear, concise and to the point.

3. Delivery: Company shall deliver the photographs to Customer no later than twelve (12) weeks after the date of the event set forth on the cover page of this Agreement. Company shall provide Customer with an online gallery and a CD/DVD of the photographs (if purchased). Customer acknowledges that Company does not permanently archive image files. Upon delivery, Customer accepts all responsibility for archiving, protecting, and storing the photographs. Company shall not be responsible permanent online storage or for the lifespan of any digital media provided or for any future changes in digital technology or digital readers that may result in Customer’s inability to access the photographs. Customer assumes responsibility for ensuring that any digital files are copied to new media as Customer may require.

My basic a la carte coverage includes a 2nd shooter so I don't really get that question anymore.

No, I haven't, but that is a brilliant/obvious idea and it shall happen. Thanks!

I don't actually. Who are your faves? Some of mine:

Vlad Chaloupka
Stillmotion
Anna Kuperberg
Mediamorfasis
Sharkpig
Daniel at Paperback Weddings
And Daniel and Casey with Mindcastle.

I can only speak for what I do. All images for web get sharpened at the very end of their processing with A Better Web Sharpen by Totally Rad Actions.

Film images don't get sharpened for print. My digital hi-res images do get sharpened for print with a modified version of Kubota's Magic Sharpen.

Hope that helps!
