So I know that it is a small thing, yet it is significant to me. I had done seven photographs for a friend to put up in his new office. It was a patriotic theme. Kind of pro bono work for some free advertisement as such. My friend, for his appreciation, gave me a gift card. I did not ask for it or expect it, but the gesture made me feel good. In a small way, it was provision. Thanks.
That happened to me not long ago after I took some senior portraits for someone without charging. Her mom ended up giving me all the cash she had in her purse as a thanks. It wasn't as much as I would normally charge, but because I didn't expect it, it really made my night.
