  Remind them that someone else owns those images, and they may have spent considerable money for them. Good photography costs money, there's no way around it.

  As an alternative, send them a link to istockphoto or shutterstock and ask them to find some similar images that they can license. Or they can commission a photographer and get exactly what they want.

  I've run into this countless times and never lost a client over it (refusing to use images they don't own). Average people just don't know about copyright like we have to.
