Anjanette, I’m repeating what the others here say. You have nothing to learn from this photographer; if you ever collaborated with her, she would be the one benefiting from your expertise and skill. And while I can understand that networking is always good to do, I don’t know why you’d network with someone of such a lower caliber than you. Would you refer clients to her if you cannot fulfill their needs? Would she to you? This is just me trying to work out what benefit you’d get from it.

I think you are under-charging yourself. As folks have said, there’s some things they’d tweak, but you are by and far a much better photog than many here. I would be happy to pay you more than your asking price for a shoot.
