Prices for portraits of adults verses prices for portraits of children.

[Mary Reilly]

When visiting different portrait websites or reading various portrait brochures, I noticed that some artists charge different prices for children's portraits and portraits of adults. Other artists use the same price lists.

I don't find children any easier to paint nor adults anymore difficult. So I charge the same price, no matter the age. For me the price increase or difference depends more on other factors such as head and shoulders verses full figure.

However, I am always open to suggestions, and I thought that perhaps some of you would be willing to share whether or not you charge the same or different prices for portraits of adults or children. Also it would be good if you could share your rationale behind your decision, especially if the price varies.

Thanks
