I wouldn't offer the prints at base price. That's effectively like saying "pay me $200 for the shoot, and then I'll edit the pictures and give you the digital files". If you're going to do that, you might as well not even bother with offering the prints, and just give your customers the files (I don't advocate this).
The principles that guide a full time photographer should guide you as well. Yea, maybe you don't need/want to charge $45 for a 8x10, but you shouldn't underprice yourself. You're still spending the same amount of time per shoot that a full-time photographer would, and if I were you, I'd like to be getting paid for my time.
