Default Pricing help Stratagy

Hello everyone i've been doing photography for a while and i'm trying to roll out a new price system. I mostly do portraits, weddings, and events. But portrait pricing is my main concern for now.

I emplimented forms on my website where a client will fill out what there needs are. I am thinking of adding a Print credit option. So lets say a client asked for headshots. So I bill them a fee of $250.00 Now this will go to me for my time, editing etc... now the client has a print credit. So let say they choose a print credit of $50.00. The total is now $300.00 they pay me. And they can go online and order $50.00 worth of prints "for free" and if they go over 50 that then a little more income comes my way.

Does this formular work.

I don't have pricing on my site for session/sitting fee cause every job is different.

If you want to offer a print credit, It should be included in the price. For example, You charge $300.00 and say that it includes a $50 print credit. This will sound more like a credit than having the customer select and pay more.
