There was a photographer in Pittsburgh who did corporate head shots after being laid off when the Pittsburgh Press folded. He was charging something like $500 per headshot. Not much business. When he raised his prices to $800, he got overwhelming business. People expect to pay more for quality, so if you underprice yourself, you might be losing out on the "best" customers. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Capt'n!
