Especially since it's not something everyone does, maybe they are willing to drop their prices to be able to add a special event like that to their portfolios. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-power-of-just-asking#post-350983 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:17:57 +0000 BoogieBea 350983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's fantastic! I'm a bad bargainer so most of the time I don't even ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-power-of-just-asking#post-350980 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:14:14 +0000 Arden 350980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a birth photographer so badly, but I just didn't think we could swing the huge costs.</p> <p>So today I emailed every local birth photographer, told them we were on a limited budget but birth photography was really important to us, and asked if any of them could work with us on price.</p> <p>Within an hour, two of them wrote back. One offered to work out a payment plan and drop her fee down, and another dropped her fee from $900 to $300!</p> <p>Bless them. All it took was asking! </p>
