[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I nanny full-time, but also dabble in photography.  
For Mother's Day, I told DB that I'd like to work on a photo project of my charge for his mother.
[b]DB agreed and gave me permission to buy any supplies I'd need.[/b]
I took the photos, developed them and framed them.
DB was blown away and asked me to complete one for his mother, MB's mother and a step grandmother.
It was a lot of work, took a lot of time (some of my personal time) and effort.
I wrapped them and gave them to DB to hand out on Mothers Day.
It's nearly 2 weeks later and I have heard nothing about it.  The photos are now hanging on their wall, so I can only assume MB likes it.
Is it out of line to expect some sort of acknowledgement or gratitude for going out of my way to make such a gift for her?

This is where you lost the "gift status" of your photography.  While she might have commented on how much she liked the photography, if you had DB pay for the supplies - it is not a gift.  [/quote]

Of course it is.  It's a gift of her talent.[/quote]

Being a nanny is a "gift of her talent" as well and she is paid for that without thanks being necessary.

I agree with PP - if you ask for money for materials you lose the gift status.  [/quote]
