On appointment day, I went to her house "studio," and what shocked me the most is that all that we talked about regarding decoration, such as color, the "turned one sign," and 1 to 12 month photos, wasn't part of the decoration. Instead, there was a branch of birthday balloons that must be what she used for her previous clients; there was nothing personal. Although I was disappointed, I clammed up and said, "Okay, let's start the photo session as it's too late to organise anything" or "Tell her why she didn't do what she said she would do because usually if we choose a freelancer instead of a company, we get poor service, and I have to move on." So we started the photo session about 15 minutes later. I wanted to change my clothes to take pictures with my baby, and she was watching my baby while I changed, and suddenly my baby fell and hit her upper lips, which doesn't look good on her photos, so we decided to rebook for the following week. We both agreed and rebooked. Few days later I texted her that her lips swallow got better if you want we can change earlier appointment then she said unable to fulfil your request if you dont want keep the appointment I cancel it Then I replied, saying we both agreed to reschedule the appointment if we couldnt do it earlier and to keep the appointment we made; she agreed, and I went for the second appointment. She asked me to pay the full amount the same day we did the photo session. The photo session was on February 14, but I didnt receive the photos until March 26, and it wasn't all the photos I paid for. When I asked her about my photos, she kept telling me to wait. Initially, I mentioned to her that I was doing a photo programme instead of a birth party because the child's father is not with us and I wanted to send him his baby's first birthday photos; she said it was a good idea but never mentioned to me that it would take this long. At first, she sounds like an amazing person who will do anything to make her clients happy, but once you pay her service fee, she becomes a different person who will not only ignore you but also verbally abuse you. She sent me multiple text messages, telling me so many abusive words, when I asked her when she was going to send me the photos so I could share them with my baby father. At the end, she apologised for insulting me, but she only said that after I asked her to be professional. Anyway, the main reason I wanted to share my experience is that I have never been so regretful in my life at this level, and I do not want anyone else to be disappointed. I wouldnt recommend her to anyone who wishes to capture a special memory. I regret spending $650 on poor, unpersonalized decorations and photos that destroyed my first child's 1st birthday, which I aimed to be the best memory but became a regretful event.
