Ok, so in April I shot a triple baptism/family session/engagement photos for this woman. I wasn't allowed to take photos in the church because the minister said no. When we got to her house for the after party, we lined the whole family up and did shots of every single person in the house. After this two of the children took of their nice clothes, put on street clothes, and proceeded to the basement where they hid the entire time I was there. I did this woman's bidding the entire four hours I was there. I took shots of everyone she wanted and anything she wanted a photo of, she got. I got 110 good shots, loaded them onto a CD and gave her two copies. I did this all for $200, not to mention the 200 miles round trip, plus the 200 miles to get the CDs to her since she didn't want them mailed. Now tonight she is sending me and email that says she doesn't like any of the photos, there are none of the kids at the ceremony (which she knows I couldn't do because the minister said no right in front of her), she doesn't like any of the engagement shots, and doesn't like any of the family photos. She now wants $150 of the money back. What would you do in this situation? There were no written contracts, this was a spur of the moment, respond to an ad on Craigslist the day before and travel all the way out there the next day. She looked over the photos when I was right there before I even left the house, and then told me they were good and I could go. Just trying to figure out whether she is entitled to the money back, or what. No one else has EVER had a complaint about my work.
