This is interesing, my usual answer to somebody who questions my prices is “well i could do it cheaper but I don’t want to have any reason to cut corners or not go for the best quality because im doing this cheap” plus “on the other hand if it comes back that its costing me more money than i initially thought i wont be coming to you looking for more money either” This usualy works a treat. The majority of people have no respect for the guy who does it cheap, and similarly they wont have the same value of the end products.
Best bet is to stick with your prices, otherwise everybody will be trying to beat you down and after a while you’ll be wondering how cheap you could do something.
Good idea but I personally wouldn’t commit to 100 photos, it would put you under serious pressure, if you think of how many images you take for a wedding and how many you eventually use, and you probably have more time to get the lighting ready at a wedding. I’m just back from infocus in birmingham and saw some nice stuff there including a photocube, basicaly a box made from photos to whatever size you want, make it from some of the party pics and stick some streamers and your photos in it and tell the client to keep the birthday cards in it and you have something unique and more saleable too.Cant remember the price off hand, i can find the company contacts if you want, just give me a shout.
good luck with it.
