Hi all! I am an amateur photographer in Dallas, TX. And when I say amateur, I mean hobbyist. I am not state licensed or part of an official body, however I have come to be good with my equipment. I recently agreed to help out the owner of the small restaurant where I work to photograph the full menu. We didnt iron out a price yet, but i have taken photos of every dish which will be used on the business's website and for social media adverts.

I would like some honest feedback on what i should charge for this work. Equipment used was one lighting rig (stand, customizable color bulb, reflective umbrellas), nikon D3000, and of course an assortment of lenses. Photography took place over 2 days during my service shifts, but equipment was brought to the restaurant for over a week. I am also retouching the photos on my own time.

I would also like to say this is a small family restaurant. That coupled with my amateur status says I shouldnt ask for much, but I also need a new car urgently. Can anyone help me?
