shots taken for a pal who wants to pay me...should i feel guilty taking his money
 
Let's just put it this way, if he is satisfied with the images and wants to pay you.. Then you did something right with that particular client and should feel no guilt what so ever. Will this be your first paid job? Just curious.
 
The way I always work, in a non-professional capacity for friends and family, is that if they feel they need to pay me for something I will let them. However, I never stipulate how much my pictures, time, etc. are worth if I never expected to get paid for it in the first place. I let them decide. If they end up giving me something for my work, then that's what it's worth it to them - and that's good enough for me.

Professionally, never work for free.
