I can't recall the price for a pro account at SM off the top of my head, but I know their website will tell ya. I'd check it, but am at work and it's blocked. :PPP
you should get your husband to check out dgrin, their forums. dgrin.com - there's really good topics in the 'Mind Your Business' one about pricing and running your photography as a business, etc etc.
the snap and dump photographer you mentioned is actually talked about in a wedding topic, as apparently those types are popular (cause cheaper) but provide such an inferior product :S there's some folks who LIKE to see everything, good or bad, but bad photos are just ... geh. I post almost all the photos I take, but that's also because after 1000+ in a day, I simply haven't the time to edit out the bad moments. I should, I know, and I would if this were my full time job, but it's not. It's a side business for now.
any how, I'm 'catspaw' in dgrin although I don't post too much you'll see some topics I've started or what not. (and anyone can read/join the forums, SM customers or not!)
