I don't leave the house for less than $150. Whether it's a 10 minute shoot or a 4 hour shoot.
PS - I had a business photoshoot for a Fortune 500 company that paid just under 4 figures for 13 minutes of shooting time. Usage is everything!

But I do have a corporate job where I have to deal with costs. When I am asked by someone to take pictures, I usually try to understand their needs, from that I extrapolate my time and costs and usually come up with a figure based on that data. I know what my time is worth at my skill level. I usually go 150% on costs and then add the two together. That is where I quote people for my price. Some have said I charge too much, but others say yes on the spot. So it is probably somewhere in between that I should be charging to maximize my side income. But I don't do this for a living, so it is not that big of a deal at the moment. If you charge you ARE a pro....
