When the photographer cancels at the last minute

Received a call at noon that a photographer that was supposed to do prom pictures for a family friend cancelled. Prom was at 6:00 that evening. So I did their pictures. Since I retired my way of giving back to the community is doing pictures without charging. I no longer have a business license or a permit to collect sales tax and don't want to face the penalties for charging anyway.
First picture is in front of a bell tower, second in front of the old jail. Both are popular locations for prom pictures in this community.

In retirement I find that stepping in at an emergency is appropriate and fulfilling. We have a wealth of experience and we can use it when necessary. Good for you, too.

Great photos. Looks like you still have it. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious. What was the reason the photographer cancelled? Did he get a better offer? What do you do in cases like this?

I don't know why they cancelled. But in a small town like this word will get out about it and probably have negative repercussions for them.
