How much would you charge to photograph a family?

After 50-60 hours of research, here’s our tentative LATAM itinerary for a family of four (two kids ages 2, 5). Traveled a lot in Europe, but never as a family to LATAM. This is new, exciting, terrifying, and I’d love other perspectives. *travel in January/February. Family trip with two kids (2, 5). Budget: $15-20k, but a bit flexible for this trip-of-a-lifetime. Safety is top priority. Adventure is good up to a point, which is why you don’t see Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru (although I desperately want to visit those places, just not with my kids). Looking for variety. Travel mai…

LPT: If you/your family are in need of a meal, you can get one from a local Hare Krishna temple, if your area has one. There was a time in my life when this was a lifeline as I’m sure it is for many others. A principle of the this sect’s faith is that “No one within 10 miles of a temple should go hungry”, so if you live near a Krishna temple and are in need of food, they will help you. Edit: I am agnostic and do not claim to have an exhaustive knowledge of this …
