Yes. Let us know. I am curious. It sounds like you did everything right on your end, but sometimes these things happen. Some folks will never be happy with any photo you take of them. Trust me, my mother is a good example. She tears up any photo anyone takes of her no matter how nice it is. I don't know what the deal is about that as she won't say other than "she doesn't like how she looks in the photo." She definitely isn't homely or anything, so I don't know why she hates all photos of her. I don't know if she has some image in her head of how she looks that the photos are shattering or what. I don't ask, I just don't photograph her anymore.

The problem may be that the subject of the photo may not have liked how she looked in the photos and was upset. Her mother may have found it easier to get "upset" with you rather than try to tell her that they are nice photos.

She didn't even tell me about this dress, but showed up in it, so there you are. I've tried giving her mom a call, but she wasn't there, and so I'll try again later in the evening. I'll let you all know how it went...
