How long does it take you to shoot a set of pictures?

I was looking thru some of my sets today as I'm getting them ready for shipment to the Twistys office and I noticed that each pic has a date and time that the pic was taken. I was curious to see how long it takes me to shoot a set of pics and I couldn't believe it. Most of my sets are done inside of 15 minutes...I had no idea. It never occured to me to time myself shooting a set of pics.

The time consuming aspects of what I'm doing is not taking the pictures but instead, getting everything setup to actually do the shoot. Hair/makeup for the model, styling the set, setting up/fine-tuning and testing the lighting, picking out the models wardrobe etc..etc. Taking the actual picture set is the easiest, fastest and the most exciting part of the process for me. Getting everything ready to shoot the set is the slow and time consuming part of the process. Anybody else notice this on their shoots?
