I have been going back and forth on whether to make a public comment on this interaction, and I have decided that everyone should know where we stand as a business.
First off, this post is NOT to slander this person. This post is to let the public know they can have an open conversation with me. If you feel inclined to voice your opinion in the comments, please do so professionally. Hurtful comments or hostility will NOT be tolerated.
NEVER be afraid to tell me what you really think. Be open and honest with me, and let's have a discussion. What kind of business would I be if I did not listen to my target audience? I will listen and hear everyone out, and even consider any suggestions you might have.
I know I would be a fool to think I could make everyone happy. That's why I run things according to my own personal standards. Part of that is to be open minded and accept everyone, be a place where people feel safe and can freely and creatively express themselves.
Lastly, everyone reserves the right to not want to do business with someone. I fully respect that. If there is something about us that makes you not want to do business with us, by all means you reserve the right to. All I want to know is why, that way I can have an outside opinion of how my business is being perceived to the public. I won't try and sway your opinions. If you have any facts wrong, I will simply correct them for transparency. If even with all the facts you still choose not to do business with us, that is perfectly fine. Just leave me with some constructive criticism to think about, and I can even try and help you find a more suitable photographer if you tell me what you are wanting to see in a business.
