No. If they're willing to pay it's legit.
Eventually you'll want to register your business if you're doing it with a degree of regularity.

Don't say that too loud. The government will want all photographers to get licensed.
Actually like broosevelt said if you are going to make a fair ammount of living off your photography then you will need to register as a business.

If your charging you need to be a legal business in your state and with the federal government. The governement will want to collect it's taxes.

You are fine up to $ 600 income. Following that, the business rules apply. I strongly suggest you are not setting up a business unless you are convinced and make the efforts to generate profits. Running a business for 3 years in a row with a loss will get the attention of the IRS. (Hobby vs business)

Charge whatever you feel your time is worth, and hopefully the person sees enough value to pay that price. Sometimes both sides have to compromise, and sometimes you get to a point where it's not worth your time.
