Photographer tipping question.

Going into a studio for portraits. Owner of the company.

To tip or not to tip? How much?

Background: This was our wedding photog. He included in our album a coupon for a free 8x10 of our first baby. Now, nothing is free.. and he will be making money off of us because we are ordering a ton more prints.
I am anti-tip but, I don't want to seem cheap.

I wouldn't tip the owner of the company.

My feeling is if someone goes above & beyond for me, I'd tip.

I used to get my hair done by the owner & would always tip. She did an excellent job & got me out in 1/2 the time as the other place I went.

If the owner spends hours with you, getting dc to sleep, has no issue with you changing them & feeding them, it warrants a tip in my mind.

or you could also wait until you see the photos to tip.

I don't know that I'd tip before I saw the results.
