I think it depends on the situation/nature/purpose/intent of the photo. You weren't out to take a photo in with getting the money shot in mind. You are obviously a bit happy about the fact that someone is willing to pay for a photo. My assumption is that she is impressed with your work and wants a personal photo for herself/husband and has no intention of making money out of the photo.
Keith, in this case, if it were up to me, I would just charge her whatever the true costs are to have the photo made up to her liking (printing, materials, extra time/effort) and maybe a small token *fee* as a pat on the back.
Unless I am a paid professional already, a request such as this would not warrant myself to put of a professional's hat/mentality/attitude and try and charge the same rate as them.
