now for business:
draft an outline of the project detailing stages, required materials, deliverables for each stage and cost of each stage. cover your ass for any overages/change requests etc. Doing this ensures that your client knows what you'll be doing (what they're paying for), and how their descisions will affect the bottom line.
no work gets started until your client signs off on this letter (contract) and you get a deposit to cover a reasonable portion of the project. If you're going to exceed the budget, tell your client right away, and give them a revised estimate. No surprises generally means happy clients.
