Need Advice charging for portraits.....etc.

I have a customer that wants her kids portraits & pictures of herself done & dont know how to charge for them.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know what to charge per sitting & per print?
I would really appreciate the feedback….
I use film but get my pics on disk as well when I process…need a good used digital real soon as well…
Help!
Thanks!

    I suggest charging by the hour (minimum 2 hours), plus so much for each print. You should also consider a one way mileage surcharge, depending how far you have to travel. To figure out what you charge per hour, call other photographers in your area, and ask them. I would suggest starting at around $45-$55/hour.
