This is the crux of your problem, and unfortunately a knobbly one you're unlikely to get off unscathed. Essentially your client wants to give away something you own. You need to educate your client so they understand this distinction. However, having done that, you're unlikely to find a happy solution, in money terms, as in my experience private clients will not be able to get their head around the value you put on the images. At the end of the day you can refuse to allow the use and suggest your client uses some of her own photos (her truely personal photos) at which point they will hopefully re-evaluate your images assuming they are significantly better.

Good luck with it!
