- Photos OK to edit
What do you do when a client isnt happy about how they look in your photos. But it isnt really the photos?
I just did a second maternity shoot. I think the mother gained some weight besides the baby bump and I did my very best to take flattering photos. I think my downfall was the husband had so many ideas, I felt like I had to show alot of pics that didnt have great angles because they were his ideas. So that is my bad. But overall it was a very successful shoot and people who dont know the couple have given me alot of positive feedback (people who are known for telling me the truth).
But the mom doesnt like them. She said there are a couple she loves and that its because she thinks she looks awful "hormonal and pregnant". I just feel bad. I want everyone to look at their photos and feel good about them. And this is the first time I have gotten this kind of reaction. I told her if there was anything I could do, please let me know. She asked me to make an edit and I did the best I could do. I dont mind trying to make things better for her. But do I offer a reshoot? I think I could do somethings to make her look smaller, but it would have to be studio work. But this was a free shoot to begin with (to break into maternity photography).
So I am wondering, what do you all do when a client isnt happy with how they look, even when you feel like you did everything you could to make flattering photos?
