After 9 years in business, I have never had someone completely no-show a scheduled photography session until now.
I want to take a moment to address something that is incredibly important when booking with a small business.
When you book a session with me, I am reserving that specific time exclusively for you. Whether your session is local or requires me to travel out of town, I make accommodations, plan my schedule, and turn away other potential bookings to honor that commitment.
For every session, clients receive multiple email reminders. I also go a step further by sending personal text reminders, including a message when I arrive at the session location.
This is especially frustrating during the fall season, which is one of the busiest times of the year for photography. That time slot could have gone to another family, couple, or individual who was hoping to book a session.
I completely understand that life happens. Plans change, emergencies come up, and sometimes appointments need to be rescheduled. I will always appreciate a simple heads-up, even if it is last minute.
Moving forward, any client who fails to show up for a scheduled session without prior communication will be responsible for the full session fee.
Please remember that behind every small business is a person investing their time, money, energy, and resources into providing a service.
I love what I do, and I genuinely appreciate every person who books with and supports my business. All I ask in return is the same respect for my time that I give to yours. If you cannot make your appointment, please just communicate. A simple text goes a long way. š¤
