Honestly, I wouldn't think twice about the hubby's comment. I hear it all the time from the parents I shoot. They hate the way they are smiling, or hubby isn't happy you can see his bald spot from that angle, etc. That's the first thing I thought of, he's just being self critical, like most adults are at pictures of themselves. No worries.

Now....the other thing with them telling 3 of their friends they can get the same discount. That's just wrong. But, I wouldn't do or say anything unless the people actually contact you for a shoot. Then I would tell them your price and all your info just like you do for anyone. If they mention that 'so and so' said you were only charging 'so much'. I would go on to explain that that price was not your regular price. These are your prices and have a nice day! So to speak! LOL! I would not give additional people that special 'friend' discount. I only give VERY few people the 'friend discount'. Good luck with all of this. Its definitley a learning experience. I'm constantly tweeking things for myself after certain shoots! LOL!
