Have to agree with H on this one. Having had a number of my early motorsports shots ripped off it pays to get it on a business footing from the start, friend or no friend.
If the business takes off there may be ongoing requirements and the friend has to regard any purchase of photos or of any other resource as am investment in THEIR buisness.
Charge a nominal amount if you wish but get some reward back for your input. As you say you are looking ahead also to future possibilities and you would be a poor business person if you did not get a return on your own work.
$50 (eg) is not much regardless and it keeps it on a professional relationship outside the friendship. No one can then say later they were ripped off. Your friend would probably feel happier giving you some return anyway.
