Hello Joan, It really depends on YOUR future plans and the people doing the asking. For close friends and family, I charge material cost only. It all comes down to what YOU feel you are worth; teme wise and artistic wise. People buy value, NOT photos. If we all bought photos, we would all go to K-mart for pics. We don't. Are you trying to just get started and hoping for future work? Then work cheap to get your name out. Ask yourself a few questions: 1)How many hrs of work; total. A good VERY basic rule of thumb I tell anyone new to shooting for money is this: Material cost x 2 + 15.00/hr. With time and getting them to beat down your door with requests, this will rise drastically.
Pete
