This is always tricky, and i have yet to come up with a definate
version for myself.

Although i do advertise on my site i will do onsite location shoots,
only the farm we board at has asked and i usually give a decent rate
for any of our boarders on prints etc.

I always felt an hourly charge would suite best. I feel $40.00-$50.00
an hour would suffice, for me, to come a do a shoot. For that i would
supply a high res CD for an additional fee, or a low res one for
proofs. I would charge like Paul suggested, which is lees than my
normal, but i am getting an hourly rate.

For a two hour shoot, plus a CD i think $200-$250.??
