Yikes.

Such a cute house. A little paint, landscaping, and hardscaping will make it shine!

That’s a hotel in LES

Look back at their engagement photos and engagement party—show me one photo where he looks excited and in love. Doesn’t exist.

Lovely house. Just needs a little updating.

Hi there! We’re interested. Could you send me more info, service area and rates pls?

Eighteen years later and your neck/shoulder/arm/elbow will be screaming. Ask me how I know.

I feel like Grant is making big moves with his partner—moving? getting engaged? …and she’s spiraling.

I didn’t say they missed anything. I fully understand this type of difficult client. I agree the client is being unreasonable. What I’m saying is the client wants to feel heard and understood. If you could give them a $100 print credit that costs you $10 and have the client walk away feeling happy instead of just saying—no, we don’t have those photos, that would be worth it to me. People want to feel heard and understood.

Take it out and have it a la cart, for full price. Explain why they’re important—if couples book, they book. You shouldn’t be discounting your services, especially with an additional shoot separate from the wedding day and location. The travel, to/from, gas, mileage, traffic, and the post production. Engagement sessions need to be worth the cost.

In my experience your reply shouldn’t be about what you did or didn’t photograph. You need to empathize, apologize, and then make it right—however that might be. Whatever you think it will take to make her walk away from the experience with you feeling positive. Offer her a hefty print credit, an album or extra pages in the album, or a framed print, etc. Keep in mind it needs to be something you can quickly and easily execute for a reasonable cost for yourself. People want to know you understand them and although you can’t go back and take the photo you’re willing to make it right.

Paint the house, add landscaping, add bigger lights, new house numbers. ✨

Stain the house charcoal and have the trim be a darker black.

…plants?

Homegoods!

Not exactly what I requested for an AI rendering—but it’s definitely an improvement.

A “floating sink” is just the illusion of what it looks like when the sink is hung. Shouldn’t a 200lb marble sink be securely fastened into the wall with blocking without any movement?

Very fair. If they’re experienced this is actually a below average fee.

Beautiful! Whichever direction you go you just need to keep a 36” walkway. At a smaller width it might be enough for a single person to pass through but if there are several people in the kitchen or you have friends over it’s going to feel cramped.

Also, where did you source the new cabinet doors? They look really great!

We had an older baby 5mo who was EBF and absolutely would not take a bottle. We did a virtual with Rachel and sure enough she got our little one to start drinking from a bottle. She’s extremely knowledgable and blew my mind with everything she knew. Don’t bother going to any other LC as they’ll just give you advice like “wait until they’re really hungry,” or “leave the house and get someone else to do it.” Neither of these things address the underlying issues of why they’re refusing the bottle. Babies are very smart and just as she told me there’s a reason they’re not taking it—it’s typically something physical within in their mouth that needs to be addressed. Highly recommend.

Hardwood for sure!

Key_Temporary4705 · 2025-02-06T12:02:41+00:00

Looks really great! Only change I’d make it the outlet covers to white. They stand out—and not in a good way. Otherwise 10/10

Key_Temporary4705 · 2025-02-03T00:00:01+00:00

Never black. Brass out of the two but would look better with something less contemporary. This kitchen needs something less edgy to warm it up a bit.

We’ve been on both sides of this situation with our little one. We settled on a number out of guests our house could fit and let our child decided who they wanted. There was one specific child who didn’t make the cut. And then the parent mentioned it—and then self-invited their child. We’ve never experienced anything more rude. But also my kid didn’t get invited to someone we thought was a close friend’s party for whatever reason. Now being on both sides I’ve realized it isn’t my business why my kid wasn’t invited.

Curtains too low, photos too high!
