Come up with an hourly charge you feel comfortable with and put a minimum amount of time on it if possible. So 3 hours minimum let's say. Also consider if wanting to go in that direction, and build a portfolio, what you should charge(less then the norm) as well just to get some parties under your belt. Also take lots of business cards to hand out. This is something where if the photos are very good, could end up selling some prints as well so consider this also.

I could say $60.00 or $60,000.00 and it would make no difference, for it depends how talented you are and what the scope of work would be.
