A couple of weeks ago I arranged an outdoor photoshoot and it was a disaster - the children weren’t playing ball at all but we were also impeded by the wind and by how busy the place was.

The photos have come back and in all honesty there are hardly any nice ones and the only ones that are OK are of just the children which wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for (they are nice photos but I’ve got just as nice ones on my phone.)

The photographer has asked if I’m happy with them as I seemed stressed (I was!) and I honestly don’t know what to say. I think an outright ‘yes, they are lovely’ is just so insincere but might be the best way to manage it. I’m not sure what honesty can do.

I know it’s not a massive big deal but I had looked forward to it so it’s a bit gutting.

As an ex-photographer by trade I would want my clients to be honest, I would of (and have done) offered a free re-shoot especially if the weather was crap. This is why I had my own studio so if the weather was bad that day I would offer a studio session if not I would immediately rebook for another date.
