Hello Hives!

I am having my boudoir session with Tony Yang next Monday and was wondering am I suppose to tip him? It's only a two-hour session so it's not an entire day's worth. Let me know if you have tipped your session time and how much is ok? Also I will have a makeup artist there so the same question goes for her as well. I'm assuming something along the line of how much I would tip a hairdresser providing a service. No? Any advice would help.

Thanks!

I know you tip the make-up girl 15-20% of the cost of the service, maybe more if you asked her to do it on location, or does an awesome job and deserves it. I am clueless on what to tip photographers.

glittergrl Planned my wedding in just under 6months. Had the most super fabulous enchanted, eclectic, bohemian forest wedding on the planet! :) CA

If the photographer owns his own studio then no, you don't need tip him (though it will be appreciated!)
