What/how much would you give photog?

[biblionerd]

We had a local photographer do our birth photography for free. She does family/nb photography already and is expanding into birth photography. We're on a local moms fb group and I happened to be online when she asked if anyone was giving birth by the end of the month at our local hospital. So she was there probably 3 hrs and in the OR. I've seen some teaser pics so far and am really happy with them. She loved how big and squishy ruby was lol and asked if we'd like her to do a mini nb session to "model" some new props she got and needed pics of. Again, have just seen teaser pics and guesstimate we'll get around 7-10 images I think? Oh yeah, birth photog she said probably 45 I think. Digital pics, no prints or anything like that.

So it was all free but I want to give her something. Cash? How much? Gift/gift card?

Hmmm since she was looking for model/practice I would give a gift card to a nicer restaurant- enough to cover two meals...

That's a lot of images!

I'd probably give a gift card or cash up to 100 dollars.

I would do $100 bucks too. Still a steal!

Or maybe offer to buy some prints from her? The prints are where they really make their money

As a photographers all the. Suggestions sound good to me. The best thing you could give her is referrals though.
