[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there was a contract that said no reshoots but I do think a professional photographer with experience with kids would do one of two things - after trying for 30 minutes of so with no better results, call it a day and reschedule or if all photos came out bad, offer a much limited/location timeslot reshoot to get at least one or two good pictures.  I think most professional photographers want customers to be happy with the results and be excited and love their photographs.[/quote]

I agree.

OP, how was she with your kid? A good family photographer knows how to calm the kids down and get them smiling. Posting a negative review about her demeanor and skill with the kids and the fact that she wasn't interested in getting successful photos would certainly be fair. [/quote]

I'm OP. I wouldn't say the Photographer did anything wrong except maybe just jump into things without really establishing a connection with my daughter. I have noticed doctors and dentists always have their little tricks so as to show the child their medical equipment before jumping in. She is strictly a child/family photographer so I was thinking she'd have a knack for it.

My kid is usually fine and this isn't common for her to just lose it. But she lost it that day. Who knows why? Sometimes toddlers just lose it. I guess the error in my thinking was this was common and that there would be a contingency plan like when the daycare photographer comes back for "reshoot day" for kids who were crying or were out sick. I thought the same policy would apply with a children's studio.

I was wrong. To those so upset by my ignorance, I hereby apologize to the entirety of DCUM. Pbbbt!![/quote]
