Photographer requires $600 minimum purchase before providing any digital photo files, creating a mismatch between gift card recipient expectations and the photographer's business model.

Existing photographers' pricing models that force clients to buy high-margin prints and albums before offering digital downloads conflict with modern consumer expectations for digital files as standard.
