Some people just do not understand

Yes, we are photographers and if we are not careful we are put in a category next to aunt Susie and Uncle Bob. When our clients ask us for pricing they immediately get second thoughts about hiring us and many decide to go with somebody who will do it for next to nothing. That is OK, potential customers have the right to do whatever they please, but the quality of your work cannot be compromised and given for free. Word of mouth is the key to grow your business be professional and charge accordingly. Do not cheapen your services if you want to photograph someone who cannot pay you enough, do it for free but do not do it cheap. This hurts the profession.
