First off, gorgeous photos. I mean your talent speaks for itself. Thats a hard one buddy. You kind of want to set a precedent. If you start allowing discounts now how do you know other people won't reach out because of that job and ask for the same discount. I understand the other side of the coin. My dad used to always say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease
. I would reach back to them and tell them that there really is no slow season. Gosh I'm already starting out bad... I already have an attitude and I just started🙄🙄😂😂 ok. Ya... ignore it HAAAA.
I would email back and tell them a price that you're comfortable with. What your off-season price is. Call it an off-season price so that they think or understand that you already have a system of pricing. A lot of people understand photographers are freelance and they like to take advantage. There's a difference between asking for a discount, a payment plan or little help. Then to intrusively ask, without thinking about the photographers pricing plan.. They automatically went in assuming... that's what I would do. And if you don't get them as a client, then it probably but it would have been more hassle then worth the money. But I understand a family man, that needs to work make money for his family. So you can go on all those fancy vacations Into the Wilderness. LOL.
