I make most my money off portfolio work and my rates are arent even that expensive, $600-$1500. I would probably shoot for $300, but it would be one look and 1 retouch. Would take me all of 30-45 minutes. No way I work half a day for $300, but quite a few will I guess so thats cool.

Yes. Back in the good old days we were shooting sets that were easily worth $3,000 each. Shoot two of them in a day and we did not have to work 5 days a week. Good girls like you described were worth twice that. All for solo girl sets no video, put them with another girl or guy, shoot a video and the sky was the limit.
Not sad those days are gone, just glad I lived in them and came to the end at the age I did. Must suck for a 30 year old with a camera today.
