So, we received our maternity photos back this week. Maybe two weeks ago we saw a sneak peek of one photo on facebook and I really liked it. It was a nice shot and looked very sweet. I had high hopes for the rest of them.Well, when we finally saw them neither dan nor I really liked them. They weren't bad, they were just nothing to get excited over. Oh well...it happens.
Anyways, in the email, our photographer asked us to let her know what we thought of the photos. I debated telling her the truth or not and dan suggested that I do. So, I basically told her that the photos turned out alright but I wasn't excited about them. However, I would still like to buy the digital copies and keep our booking for her to do the newborn session. Well, that didn't turn out so well. She replied back that she doesn't like it when people don't like her work and she doesn't want to do our newborn session anymore and that she will just bill us for the session fee and send us a single digital copy of the sneak peek photo.
Yikes!
I replied back with an apology but that I understood and that I would still like to buy ALL of the photos...I haven't heard back yet. So, now i'm on a scramble to find an affordable photographer on short notice. It definitely would be ok if we didn't get these photos professionally done, but it would be nice :)
Update: Everything seemed to have turned out alright. She emailed me back and seemed ok with everything. She even reiterated that this was her favorite maternity shoot so far. We are all square now...we are paid up and already have the digital copies. I've even found a few affordable options for newborn photos :) things are coming together.
