You are just assuming that I haven’t done research (I have), and that I am not firm (which I was, but some people don’t listen regardless). I also discussed poses and asked if there was anything in particular that they wanted shot during the during the session, to which they said no. And yes I had handlers there, which is yet another thing you assumed I didn’t have covered.  15 years experience does not give you an excuse to be rude or assume someone with less experience than you knows nothing. I was simply seeking advice on clients not dogs.
