Jim FFX County is a total different animal. We have not been hit as hard as other parts of the country (all the gov't workers and the military) I have been also raising my prices (not as much as you have), and like you, I have been selling more. If you look at the "established photogs in our area, they charge a lot (IMO) so people are used to that. But when they see $10 for an 8x10 their eyebows are raised and they assume lower quality - even though its better that the $25 job down the street.
