While you're correct in saying it "shouldn't" take that long, it *could* take that long depending on a variety of factors. We generally book studio time in increments no less than 3 hours to include setup time, lighting changes, wardrobe changes, makeup touch-up, etc.
To a layman, 30 photos doesn't sound like many. But in actuality, it can often take 4x that number (or more, depending on the photographer's skill) to produce 30 of excellent quality to satisfy a paying customer.
Since the photographer won't be having use of the photos, he has no way of partially recuperating his costs through resale or distribution...so the cost to the customer would be substantially higher.
