Like most photographers I shoot in RAW. Basically this is a huge file (around 30MB per image) that contains heaps of information so that it can be manipulated afterwards. Unlike jpegs the camera doesn't apply any automatic settings so when the photos come out on my screen they are stripped bare - raw - and need adjustments like colour, tone, exposure, sharpening etc.
To give you and example - yesterday I spent 4 hours photographing families and 10 hours editing those photos.
A lot of how long it takes to get the photo depends on what other jobs I have on at the time (and how good my children are being at the time). I am pretty speedy at editing and I don't apply any cosmetic edits which does keep the time down also.
Usually I work to a week turnaround but a lot of the time it is quicker than that as I can't wait to get the photos back to you too!
