Do you print your own photos, or do you burn them to a CD/DVD?

I have just started taking portraits for people, and I was curious about what the norm was for portrait photography now:

Do you print your own photos with photo packages and stuff?
Or do you burn the images onto a CD/DVD along with a print release so they can get them printed themselves?

I'm not doing anything as fancy as weddings, just simple shoots like senior pictures, maternity, etc. No studio, just outside. It seems like the majority of these users just want the pictures to post on Facebook and so on, so I was just going to burn the images (both at full size and at a more manageable "social networking" file size) onto a disc with the print release. That way if they want prints, they can take them to a printer to have them done.

I used to work in the printing department at an office supply store, and we would do this for customers all the time. We had a lot of photographers that would refer their customers to us.


I know there are pros and cons of printing your own images, but my husband is concerned that I will be missing out on business if I don't offer printing. Having worked for a digital printing company, I know that there are several photographers in the area who definitely don't print their own images, but his argument was "Why go to you, when I can go to someone who offers the whole package?"

So I was just curious as to what other photographers think on the subject!
