Hi,
I’ve just recently started doing photography for more than just family. I work a full time job M-F, so only do scheduled sessions on the weekends.
So, I have a potential client issue. Let’s call her A.
A reached out to me and we were discussing dates to do a session. She offered a Thursday, I explained I only do sessions on the weekends because of my actual full time job. She never answered me after that. A few weeks go by, she reaches out again and we schedule a session. The morning of, literally 10 minutes before I left my house to go to said session, she texts me and cancels. She asks about another date, I kindly remind her again I have a full time job and do not do sessions during the week. She never replied to me.
Now, a few weeks later, she messages me AGAIN asking to schedule a session. To give her the benefit of the doubt and to help lengthen my portfolio, I asked her what day or time she had in mind.
As of now, no answer. Obviously, this isn’t working out. I’m trying to figure out 1) If I should even say no and 2) If I do, how do I say it?
I don’t want to lose a potential client and the chance to add to my new portfolio, but it’s incredibly annoying to go back and forth constantly with her.
Thoughts?
