When i went to my 10 year reunion everyone found that I'm getting into photography. Now a few of them would like me to take some photos of their families. Mandy, which called me Josh, would like me to take some christmas photos of kidos and family. I'm not sure how much to charge, she wants something creative and very holiday looking.

how much should i charge?

Check out the area market & base your price from there. Remember that your skill level may not equal to others so take that into consideration. Be very clear on what your client wants & that you can handle the job. It's better to turn down a job than get a bad rep.

i don't think i'd have too much trouble shooting it
i can spend hours thinking on how a setup should be and it'd be easy to work with mandy.

I'm thinking of charging 50 an hour cause if i do that it's only 100 bux for 2 hours work.
