Gary, some shoots require more than one strobe system, generators (to eliminate face shadows between 10 AM and 2:00 PM), and enclosure for changing and lots more. Often, video and stills are shot at the same time and location.

Like everything else, what pays (photos of washers and dryers...UGH) pays more than say, scantily clad women...DAMN!

Mostly, the fee is a function of the size of the print run or web exposure, the rep of the model and the size of the print, collateral or media budget as much as it is talent of the photographer.

Great shot of your grandson!
