quick question - pay for drinks with photog?

Hi ladies - I'm meeting with a photographer today who doesnt have an office (she was referred by a friend so not suspicious). She suggested a bar/lounge she often works out of. Question is - do I have to pay for her drinks? What is the etiquette on that?

I haven't been in this position exactly, but since she is trying to get you to hire her, I would say that she would pay.
