She did what we’ve all done at some point—tried to blend professional services with family ties. She offered her sister an extreme discount for wedding photography and, in return, got stiffed on the bill, criticized, lied about, and guilt-tripped. And if you’re wondering whether this tale ends with heartfelt apologies and reconciliations, let me stop you right there. It ends exactly how mixing family and money always does: chaos, resentment, and the realization that the only thing truly priceless is never working for family again.
So no, mixing family and money is never a cocktail you want to shake—unless you’re prepared to garnish it with bitterness and regret. Cheers!

Sister spreads lies about sibling after skipping paying her for wedding photos, pushing the sister to cut her off:’I did the job and should get paid for it’
Some of us have mastered the art of mixing business and pleasure—adding a little laughter to work meetings, sharing drinks with colleagues, or occasionally turning a casual Friday into a slightly-too-casual Monday. I, for one, sometimes pour a little too much pleasure into the cocktail, so maybe I should tone it down—add some water or a side of yoga to the mix before this turns into a problem. But hey, that's neither here nor there.
The point is, mixing business and pleasure can sometimes work. Mixing family and money, though? Never pleasurable. If you've ever thought, "Hey, maybe this time it'll be different," allow me to gently remind you of the universal truth: no, it most certainly won't. And if you've forgotten that rule, this one wedding photographer is here to give you the refresher course you didn't know you needed.
