Just a little rant to get off my chest-
So on Monday we took our maternity pictures. The guy that took them is a mutual friend. He’s a beginning photographer and offered to do our maternity shoot. Everything went well and he told us he’d send us the link to the pictures “in a day or so” well yesterday morning I texted him being very polite and asked if he could send them to me later that day however I made it clear that I was not rushing him just wanted an update. That was at 6am yesterday. At 9 pm our mutual friend calls me and tells me he had told her he saw my message and that the pictures are on his laptop he just has to send them to me. At this point I’m pissed because why can’t you at least reply to me?? Our mutual friend tells me I shouldn’t “nag” and to not text him anymore because he doesn’t like “nagging people” keep in mind I had only texted him once at that point since the shoot and second of all I PAID him I expect and update or something letting me know you acknowledged my text therefore I can “nag” all I want if you’re ignoring me. So I texted him again last night around 10 pm and told him if he’s seen my message from earlier. And nothing... of course. I just got on Snapchat and I saw that he posted a picture of his laptop screen of him watching Netflix. I’m sooo irritated. And tbh I have bad anxiety so it’s so hard for me to be confrontational so idk what to do. I just hate being ignored😞

Girl, this sounds like my sister in law’s boyfriend, we let him take our sons birthday party pictures only for him to take an entire month and a half to get back to us and all we got was pure shit pictures, literally cropped people out not one picture of his cake or him with any family members and he still got paid for it. That was the first and very last time we ever give him the chance. I know exactly how you feel cause when we would ask he would say things like he needed to work on them and the colors and when we got them they looked like they had Instagram filters and he did black and white photos and never even asked if that’s what we wanted or which pictures did we like nothing he picked everything and the ones he did were pure garbage. I would just say Just invest in your own camera, that’s what we had to do.
@beeforever98, well I wouldn’t hold my breath. You proli won’t get them. He sounds like a real douche canoe. I hate people.
That’s some bullshit. What a stupid ass
@laniejay, yea, I feel like I honestly need a back up plan if I don’t end up getting those pictures
@beeforever98, I’d give him a week if you haven’t already. Then - tell him to produce the pics and fulfill his promise or refund your money. It doesn’t sound promising so I’d work on a back up plan for pics.
@braindeadmama, it really is and that’s honestly the only thing I can do at this point
@beeforever98, just keep blowing his shit up i guess. That’s really disappointing
@braindeadmama, No, he’s only shown me a portfolio but nothing I could leave comments on. I have his number and Snapchat that’s about it
@beeforever98, does he have a page for his photography
@braindeadmama, you’re absolutely correct. I just don’t know what to do at this point because he’s ignoring me entirely
@laniejay, I have seen some of his work and honestly liked it a lot, we didn’t want to spend a fortune and he just seemed so genuine about taking them for us didn’t think we needed a contract since he is a mutual friend but I guess I should’ve had one..he even said that he’ll only edit my favorites after I pick the ones I want but I can’t pick them if I don’t have them lol 🤷🏻♀️
@beeforever98, technically he’s a professional if he’s accepting money for his time. So, what I’m saying is that if you pay him you should expect a certain service done to your standards
@braindeadmama, he’s not a professional photographer, just a guy that enjoys taking pictures and that offered to take some shots so I should’ve expected this honestly
A day is an unreasonable turn around for a photographer who actually edits each shot. That said, this guy doesn’t sound professional. Do you have a contract? Have you seen his work?
It usually takes me about 5 days to a week to get my pictures from my photographer. But he also doesn’t sound professional at all
@geraldinetov, wow I would’ve been so damn pissed! I didn’t even think of that but honestly I think investing in my own camera would be much better and less frustrating!
