Seriously, you are going to laugh at Intuition’s advice?  There’s no “bracket” to fall into when pricing.  Pricing isn’t based on skill, especially when just beginning.  It’s a careful formula of costs, vs hours working, vs product sales, vs salary.  It’s a formula that only you can figure out, because only you know what your cost of doing business is.  Your state’s minimum wage, licensing, taxes, and sales tax laws vary from state to state.  Insurance, file storage costs, web presence costs, marketing costs, printing and packaging costs, legal costs, equipment and maintenance  costs, etc all vary from tog to tog.  Demographics, and skill come into play as well, but pricing for profit, is just that.  As your experience and business grow, so do your costs, so pricing should be visited regularly.  On average when a legit part time photography business starts, they need to charge $100 + to $200+ per session just to clear minimum wage.   But, this again is just a round about figure because of so many different variables.  Here is a business calculator.  Enter your numbers honestly, and it will figure out your cost per assignment and what you would need to charge per session/assignment to make the salary you need/desire.  Keep in mind that even just hobbyists need to break even, and any profit per year needs to be claimed federally, and once again your state and local tax laws vary.

If you’re not serious enough about your photography to be legal, protect yourself and your clients, and price for profit, then… Well… You don’t care, and I don’t care and your photography is irrelevant.  I look forward to your reply.  If you are serious, and care about being a legit tog for hire, I will take the time to go through your photos and give a through critique.
