After thinking long and hard about this, I've decided to go with the option.
Things happen, and I want to make sure everyone has their images forever. I am now going to sell high resolution CDs/DVDs with all of the edits from your session. Even though my clients prefer to order from me because my prints are good quality, they may want to order them say, a year or more from now. People lose things, damage things, etc. Even I could have issues keeping old files from sessions from way-back-when. If I give my clients the option to buy the print release, they will be able to always print and view their images.
How much do I charge? Another question I've been trying to answer. Some photographers charge up to $600 for print releases, but I dont feel comfortable with that. Not to downplay my work, but $600 is too much for 20-30 files on a CD.
I've decided to start out selling my "normal " session CDs for $75, and the weddings for $100 because I do so many that I like to put them on 2 discs, so that it doesn't take an hour for them to upload on your computer!
