I need to address something because itโs such a repetitive thing the last two months..
Please understand that when you book with me or agree to do so, I am putting ACTUAL time and work into the session with you BEFORE we ever even meet for the session.
โขcommunication
โขadministration work
โขchoosing a location
โขgathering props
โขcleaning my lens + camera before your session
โขsending reminders (my system does this for me sooo I can see when you open the email)๐ซ ๐ฃ
Iโm scheduling around YOU.
Iโm planning locations and dates.
Iโm communicating with multiple people about the same date.
Iโm turning away/holding spots from others.
If you say you agree to that date & suddenly I get ghosted. ๐ป
It messes my finances UP, when it doesnโt match my system AND when it keeps happening to the same person, I GET FLAGGED on my system!!๐
Changing your mind is okay. Life happens.
I absolutely understand that, more than anyone due to having stage three endometriosis on my bladder + pending some other conditions currently now.
Ghosting is just NOT okay. Period.
Mainly during my super busy season, which this year, I havenโt slowed down one bit like I normally do in the summer. -THANK YOUUU ๐๐ฅน
When weโre selecting dates then, waiting weeks for a retainer to be paid. When the deposit has to be completed and the contract HAS to be signed in order to continue services with me within 48 hours of sending it.
We always send you a text message to make sure you received the email since it goes into your spam most of the time.
I donโt want you to miss it!
*Otherwise you WILL miss out on your time slot.
Ignoring retainers that are due is not okay.
Agreeing to a date & price and then leaving your photographer on read, booking with someone else is just disheartening and NOT respectful.
If you are no longer interested, or found someone else, for any reasonโฆSEND ME A MESSAGE, please.
It takes 30 seconds. I always follow up with every potential client. I would much rather receive an uncomfortable โI changed my mindโ than have โPOOFโ disappear to waste both of our time. ๐ฃ
Moving forward, please DO NOT book, or agree to a session unless youโre prepared to fully communicate, pay your retainer, and actually follow through the contract.
This is why we offer payment plans, NOT MANY photographers offer that. If this does happen one more time, my deposit fees will be going up. ๐ฅฒ
Pleasee respect us, my business, and most importantly our time.
-Emily + team
*peek at Charlie for algorithm ๐
