Several friends reached out to me for bookings, but they insist that I should shoot at a discount, or free. How do I gently tell them that the best way to support my business is by paying full price?

No Saving This Friendship

My friend and I were very close in grad school, but drifted apart after we graduated six years ago. Because we've been out of touch, I was surprised to be invited to her recent wedding. I accepted, but the day before, I realized I couldn’t put on a smile for a reunion that I wouldn't feel part of. Did I make the right decision?

How can I make clear to him how much damage he is causing?
