Thanks for the feedback guys. Actually I delivered the poster personally to them today....they had no idea I was going to give them one, and in addition I didn't show them any proofs prior to make it more of an AWE factor. Marquis and his family absolutely loved the poster, it was pricesless to see their reaction.
My sessions last 1 hour on location so I get as many shoots in as I can. This session yielded about 15 shots that I edited down, about 4 of which I incorporated setup HDR shots...which I'm sure all of you know how to do by now with portraits, and the other 11 were more photojournalistic (signle exposure) kind of shots to capture personality, and I threw in a family portrait to boot. The senior liked HDR style photography so thats why they (him and his parents) specificaly hired me.
It's not too often I get gratuity on top of my costs, but I am very greatfull to receive it so I usually go an extra mile to make my clients smile..the poster took about 15 minutes to create from the photos, and 10 dollars to print and it went a long, long way.
