Ran across an interesting Portrait photographer's web site recently.  Attached is a picture of her and her camera.  She uses a Polaroid 20 x 24 camera.  It produces a large image.  Her cost is over 50 dollars per shot.  That is interesting just from the equipment point of view.  BUT

What I find most interesting is she charges between $2800 and $4500 per portrait session.   She takes time to get to know the client and then sets them in a setting that best depicts them.  Takes two yes I said two shots and then the client gets to pick between the two shots.  The initial price does include a large print of her work.  WOW,  photography at it's best...her web site is worth the view. I would strongly suggest you check it out.  And realize that real portrait photography is much more than lights and camera, it should be a reflection of you.
