Nobody has even asked @zebrastreyepz what do you get for that fee? Do you get prints or downloads? Or are those extra?
Eh. How far is the zoo from the photograher's home? What kind of planning goes on for the photo shoot? If they are shooting for an hour, I can see how it could get to several hours of work easily.If they are charging $90 an hour for their services that, IMHO, puts them out of the range of being tipped.
The debates here about tipping often center on what wage level a person should not longer expect a tip. I won't throw gasoline on that fire except to say that someone charging $90 is making at least twice the hourly wage that I would stop tipping at.

A minimum of 40 edited pictures. Printing will be on me.Nobody has even asked @zebrastreyepz what do you get for that fee? Do you get prints or downloads? Or are those extra?
So much for TVGuy’s argument about this taking “only” an hour. Editing will likely take longer than the shoot.A minimum of 40 edited pictures. Printing will be on me.
Also missing is if this photographer is also printing up the photos and doing all the color correction, etc. THAT is where portrait photographers really make their money not in the sitting fee.Eh.

I wouldn't tip the photographer, but it wouldn't be based on this. It would be based on them running their own business and setting the price they need to make it worthwhile. If it was a wedding, and I felt they had gone above and beyond in some way, maybe. But not for this.
I've seen her samples and really liked them. I'll be happy to share some when I get them in.So much for TVGuy’s argument about this taking “only” an hour. Editing will likely take longer than the shoot.
Looks to me like you’re getting a bargain. I wouldn’t do all of that for $90 (as an amateur enthusiast).
You could round up to an even $100 but you might not even know if the pictures are very good yet when you pay.
I hope you will share some when you get them. I’m very curious to see what they do with the zoo setting.
I never said that. I asked in post 28 about other charges for printing and color correction. And OP said the fee was $90 an hour, not $90 flat rate.So much for TVGuy’s argument about this taking “only” an hour. Editing will likely take longer than the shoot.

I would never have thought about giving a tip to the photographerDo you tip a photographer?
My co-worker is doing the photos and photography is a professional side gig for her. She quoted me $90 an hour, we are going to the zoo, and I'm covering her entry into the zoo.
I honestly have no idea about tipping etiquette with this type of service.
