Knowing what rates to charge for a photoshoot is no easy thing! So on one hand you are not alone in struggling with this but on the other hand you arent going to find an easy answer. It relies a lot on you answering certain questions about yourself.
On avg, how many hours do you work on the shoot including pretalk, set up, shooting, break down and of course - retouching.
What is the cost of operation? How much are you spending on gear, rentals, gas etc in the year?
How many gigs do u get a year?
Ideally you want to figure out with how many gigs a year you have- how many hours you would need to work at what rate to be at least equal with your expenses of operating. From there it goes up with how confident you are with your product, if the shoot benefits your book of if its purely for the client -etc
