More Purple Cows in the photography industry.

The actual work isn't what's remarkable to me with this studio. It's the way the photographer has built the image of his business. The name is quirky and unusual, the website is contemporary and whimsical. He sells the typical custom coffee table albums, etc., but he also sells t-shirts that say "I'm juicy" on them, which relates to his business name. To me, his images (although contemporary and technically good) are secondary to his packaging.
I'm frantically searching out remarkable work for inspiration (which is nothing new; I've been doing this for years). My only problem is that I'm afraid I'll succumb to fear and pressure and attempt to do the very same thing. I've got some ideas running around in my head, but my ultimate brick wall with this is that I'm afraid of creating a pricing structure because it will scare away some potential clients. But if I'm thinking like a Purple Cow marketer, that shouldn't matter. I'm not looking to be an 'everyman' photographer.
