Hey all,
I had this customer about a month ago who really wanted to do some photography in her neighborhood. So, I went to her and discovered that the little "park" they had down the street had basically no trees, bushes, or foliage of any kind to disguise all of the new construction and houses. I did the best I could, but there are houses in the backgrounds of the park pictures. I suggested that we move to their front porch since it kind of had an Americana feel to it. But, the mom wanted to first go check out the fountains in the neighborhood. Well, we walked a few blocks over to where the fountains were and discovered that they weren't turned on. Then she told me that the neighborhood was having a group photo session and they had to go and do that. Right in the middle of MY photo session with her daughters. So, since I'm new and don't want to be too picky, I was patient and waited about 20 minutes or so for them to go and do that. Finally they came back to their house and I attempted to finish up the shoot on their front porch. But, at this point, I felt really rushed because they had a playdate scheduled and their little friends had arrived and of course the two girls were not in the mood for any more picture taking.
I actually thought a few of the porch shots were pretty cute and I really thought the mom would be pleased with them. I sent them to her and called a couple of times to make sure that she got them and that everything was ok.(she never responded) Then I got a phone call from her yesterday saying that they weren't what she expected and that she didn't like all of the houses in the background.
I didn't know what to say to that really.
What would you guys have said? I HATE the fact that someone wasn't pleased with what I made for them
