Photography DRAMA

I have issues.

I love getting our family pictures done but I can't find "the one" You know - the ONE photographer that is affordable and professional and timely and talented. And I want a CD with rights. And AFFORDABLE.

G's newborn pictures were taken at JCP. HATED them. I'm just not a fan of studio shots.

Then I found a girl in my hometown that took TONS of photos but had shoddy editing.

Then I found a girl via Craigslist. LOVED her face off. She met all my criteria. She caught "the shot" and had mad editing skills. I used her for G's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year. And every time she got just a little less afforable. And because she was that talented - she got too expensive.

I cheated on her with a new girl - met through a friend of a friend - and she was affordable and mad skillz. She did G's 18 month pictures. Then she decided to be weird (became a swinger) and not pursue photography anymore. *sigh*

Then I found another chick. Who I kinda liked ok. She did G's 2 year pictures. I'm not sure why I didn't just go with her again but she was a little on the pricey side.

So another photog - who did a friends pictures. I had such high hopes. Then she rescheduled our first appointment without me even knowing until I messaged her at 2pm THAT DAY.

Finally a new appt - which she was late to.

THEN turnaround was supposed to be 2-2.5 weeks. (TOTALLY UNDERSTAND)

BUT no pictures until OVER a month later. AFTER I bugged her 3 days in a ROW!

And I'm super mad. Because I WANTED to like her. I WANTED to be photog besties. But I just can't.
