That's a good point...it's just for the pay scheme we are working out a per set thing as we are just taking the photos one set at a time whenever we have the time. Sometimes they will be studio photos, sometimes they will be "hey come over I'm taking a bath" but I want to have a flat fee the same for each set.

This actually is the best suggestion yet and is actually right around what I was thinking for costs, pre-editing. It's really hard when one person wants to do it for free but I been around enough to know all the shitty things that can happen when people don't keep business separate.
