How much should I charge to do photos?

So, I’ve been doing photography for awhile now and am pretty good at it. I’ve done baby photos, weddings, and family. I just don’t know how much to charge each time. Can anyone give me some suggestions? I know it will be different if I’m just doing the photos or if I’m doing photos and printing them out instead of just putting them on a disc.. Help me out! :)

    What is a good photography business name?

    I’m trying to start my photography business legally and I haven’t came up with a catchy name yet. I had some ideas in mind but when I looked them up they were already taken. I want something simple and a name that has meaning.
    I don’t want to use my name in any part since my name is often mispelled and very long.
    I’m trying to find something like ___ Photography (either 1 or 2 words, then Photography)
    I want to have some type of meaning like a friend of mine did — hers is Epic which she named because of the meaning "beyond the ordinary".
    Thanks!

    P.S. This would be a name for EVERY type of photography… children, families, babies, maternity, seniors, weddings… etc.

    AND… NO SMART REMARKS! I’M LOOKING FOR SERIOUS ANSWERS. IF YOU DONT HAVE A NICE SUGGESTION THEN KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

            What should a freelance photographer charge?

            My boyfriend is trying to get into the photography business by first starting out as a freelance photographer. He does everything from weddings to formal and informal events. What should he charge to start out?
            He wants to do that. But because of money, his education, and his disability no one wants to have him as an assistant.

              My friend is just starting out as a freelance photographer for weddings and other events. When accepting payments from clients, should he be asking for a 1099 along with their checks? Or is there some other way freelance photographers keep track of their income for when it’s time to file their taxes with the IRS?
