A nice large example hanging next to it wouldn't hurt either!  |
Hahahaha! If I ever get a studio, I am sooooo doing this! LOL! That's great!
Hmmmm...well, I don't quite know what advice to give you. I haven't had unruly children to the extent that you just decribed. I have had some trouble makers and some that just won't listen. I would maybe suggest letting the kids play for the first 30 minutes. Always have a ball on hand or a frisbee. Anything to make them run and work off all the bad energy, ya know? Not sure what to say about the dad. That's just wrong. The parent should be willing to work with you to try and get the situation under control. Even if it means taking a break or whatever. But not walking away. I'm sorry you had a bad shoot. I would definitely offer another shoot if you are unhappy with the pics. Why put your name on something you are not satisfied with, ya know?
