I think tipping should generally be reserved for people like waitresses who make below minimum wage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285944 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 16:18:13 +0000 youboots 2285944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a photographer. I get tipped about 10% of the time. Usually if a client wants to thank me for a job done well I'll get a thank you and gift card after I deliver the images. I'm sure your photographer would appreciate a thank you note and small coffee gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285906 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 15:47:19 +0000 serenity207 2285906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much for the feedback!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285819 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:35:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 2285819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we've only done an owner of his/her own studio though. I think we did tip our wedding photographer (although after getting the pictures he didn't deserve it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285812 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:31:21 +0000 MrsRcCar 2285812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since she is the owner I would say no tip is needed. If it was a staff photographer 15-20% of the package price is what is common in most private photography studios. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285798 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:16:03 +0000 PurplePeony 2285798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. If she owns the business, I'd assume she's charging the price she wants to get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285790 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:10:29 +0000 birdofafeather 2285790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm a photographer and have never been tipped for portraits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-photographer#post-2285761 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:57:04 +0000 serenity207 2285761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you tip a photographer for something like taking headshots? If so, what percent? The photographer owns her own business and the session lasts about 30 minutes. TIA! </p>
