Just keep shooting for free until you don't have to ask if your work is good enough to accept money for.
Taking pictures for people doesn't always mean you need to get paid for it.
I make a lot of money with photography and I still shoot people for free all the time.

I 100% agree.

From looking at your portfolio my honest opinion is to do free sessions and learn as much as you can. You do great landscapes and nice shots of "stuff" but your portraits fall short. The minute you start charging is the minute people start expecting more than you can give them.

With that $20, do they get to keep the 40 prints or are those just proofs?

you can charge them 20 bucks for the shoot and extra for the prints.

if you want to keep it cheap then charge printcost X5. its not gonna be that much enyway.
