I charge according to the size of the image and the amount of work it will take to produce what the client wants. That can be anywhere from $50 for a very simple portrait to $200 and up for something more complex. I use a contract, which I require they sign and return (either snail mail or electronic sig) and I also send a letter of agreement laying out everything in detail. I allow for some modifications and changes, but if it gets to be ridiculous I remind them that (according to the contract they signed) I will be charging an hourly rate for additional changes and modifications on images they have already approved. I make sure and show them the WIPs along the way, with watermarks and a small size. I require a 50% deposit and they do not get the full size image(s) until I get the balance due.

Once they have approved everything and the image is sent out, any changes they request are on an hourly rate.

I hope that helps.
