Magdalena,
My recollection is that this topic has been discussed several times but not necessarily in its own thread. My guess is that it is embedded in various other topics and might be difficult to search out.
My feeling is that most don't cotton to the idea of either giving or selling their resource photographs. Personally, I don't know what good could ever come of it. First, it begs comparison to your painting and may be a cause for nit picking any perceived differences. Secondly, most people aren't willing to shell out enough money to mitigate the potential grief. And, as you say, you're not in the business of photography.
I think it's a good idea to nip in the bud any sense of entitlement the client may have to your photos with a well worded phrase or two in your contract. If you do that then you always have the option of breaking your own rule for special circumstances.
