I'd rehearse in your mind ahead of time how you would like to proceed through a house and the kinds of things people might want to document. Make a little sheet outlining what the owner should do to have things ready ahead of time, and suggest an appointment at least a day after they are given the preparation sheet so they have time to think of everything.

I'd start with a $25 per hour minimum if you want to do it hourly, or $35-50 total for shorter or longer appointments. But rehearse how you plan to handle items, literally, being careful, and deliberate, perhaps following a numbered order : if customers make a list of 10 items, take pictures in that order.

Is there really a market for this? These days with almost everyone owning a cell phone with a camera and digital cameras they can take their own pictures. Jewelry must be apraised by a liscensed appraiser and they always photograph the object.
