Even if you're called upon to do a group-shot with all of them, it doesn't need two people to press the shutter...
Having a 2nd along just means you make less money unless you pass that cost on to the client (and these days who's going to stump up the extra 500+ notes just to bring what the client may percieve as 'insurance' for you not being up to the job by yourself...?)
