Question on prices

They would like digital photos on a cd. I have a nice Nikon digital SLR I can use. How much would one charge for this kind of thing? I am horrible at determining prices.  I need to

one of the photographers i work with usually charges about $150-200 for a 4 hour party, but this is for a huge huge company so she probably charges more than she'd charge others.

how long will you be needed?

The party goes on from 7:30-11:30, but it sounds like they need me 1-2 hours.

$75 an hr
they pay for all materials

$150 for the 2 hour work and then $200 for all images on CD, more if they want specific ones edited and/or printed.

You want to do the lower $75/hr rate because you're trying to build up your portfolio!
