Many people think they want something, but until they've done a little research, they don't realize the cost. Occasionally you are going to have people who discover, after they've already approached you, that they can't afford your services. This is okay.
I don't have the money for professional photographs of my children. I know enough about photography to know this. As a potential client, however, I would hope the fact that I couldn't afford the photographer would be respected and just left at that, rather than my being made to feel uncomfortable because of it.
When someone who has something to sell views people who can't afford their services as cheapskates, they come across as pushy.
