No More Freebies!

Lesson recently learned: When one does a free photo shoot for individuals, they feel a sense of entitlement instead of ownership. It is not costing them. They are not sacrificing. It is done for them, not with them. Critical comments and demands increase. Gratitude is only minimally expressed.

I do not mind being generous with skills and talents but the final product costs money. When individuals pay for services, they are owners and participants in the end result. In this position their respect for me increases. No more freebies.
