Well you always have to remember, an artist never sees his/her work as every being 'good enough'. Think about it, if people thought their work was 'good enough' there'd be little reason to continue, to improve, try new things, or grow as an artist. Trust me on this one.

Also if you're good at anything, family will always have a way of 'volunteering' you or bugging you to do something for them for free. You'll have to make a choice if you want to do this for the experience/publicity or if you're setting yourself up to be a free artist forever.

Just my .02 cents from an amature photographer who's been asked tons of times to do portraits, senior pictures, and weddings for free or next to nothing by family and friends who are too cheap to pay.
