I usually print the final composition on cheap copy machine paper and let the customer see the basics. After all,they have seen my work and have obviously approved of the final product that I am capable of. If asked, I explain to them that I may have had hands from one photo, a tree from another, feet from another. This is really helpful with more than one subject in the photo. It is virtually impossible to get each child perfect in one picture. One reference photo I posted recently had four children!

If I do print out a high quality print (which today's ink jet is very capable of doing) I may just add a subtle watermark that makes the copy worthless as portrait photography. When done subtly, it is barely noticable but is definitely there.

Michael,

Because of my commercial art background I too keep a morgue of old reference material. It has come in handy on many occations.
