I charge a sitting fee of 100-250 depending on whether it's a family/newborn/child which includes [1] free print and then I offer several options in regards to digital files i.e. 5 to 50 on a disc at incremental increases and I also offer prints. Even though my prints are ridiculously inexpensive for professional printed images people still opt to just pay a couple of hundred dollars to get the images on a disc (which they will forget they bought in a year and they will never get printed... but they might get splashed on facebook so I make a watermarked low res version of each and include in the contract that they are the only images that can be shared online)
