My dear friend, others solvings are good but not enough because If user hasn't profile picture you should show default image easily (not need migration). So you can follow below steps:

Add this method to your person model:

@property
def get_photo_url(self):
    if self.photo and hasattr(self.photo, 'url'):
        return self.photo.url
    else:
        return "/static/images/user.jpg"

You can use any path (/media, /static etc.) but don't forget putting default user photo as user.jpg to your path.

And change your code in template like below:

<img src="{{ profile.get_photo_url }}" class="img-responsive thumbnail " alt="img">
