Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : A friend of mine asked me to take pictures of her and her husband. 

I am trying to set up my business as a photographer and therefore money is tight for me. I have been taking photos for years so not a begginer photographer. I have been told for years to start a business. It costs money to store the pictures even if I don’t edit them. 

She asked me to take pictures and what’s the price. 

I said I couldn’t take money off a friend but to buy the backdrop for the photos. 

Which would cost 80% of the sitting fee    So I’d be out of pocket for 20%sitting fee and then I would edit all the photos and give high res. I wouldn’t do that for paying customers unless they paid well for it. 

Anyway she seems to be distant from me now. Did I do wrong to ask for the backdrop? I thought I was doing a favor but also helping me too. I don’t exactly have time to edit over 50 photos for free and I didn’t buy my camera and photoshop to do free shoots for everyone. 

Should I have done it for free? Or just said my full price. Am u the ass for suggesting the backdrop? 

Tl:dr: friend asked me to take photos. Asked what the price is. Total price for all pictures (over 50) would be 400dollars   Offered her to buy backdrop (80dollars). She is now distant from me.
