Running a part time studio I offer Portrature Photo shoots. Before Christmas a friend asked if I would ofer a free photoshoot, for their company raffle, with the ticket money going to charity. I did this and offered a £150 shoot.

This was one by one of the girks from their account dept, who I now find out is someone who bullies and harrases my daughter. Only at New year her and her brother verbally abused my daughter in a club and tried to start a fight with her and her new husband.

After this incident I was hoping she simply wouldnt contact me for a shoot date, however she did, and tells me that she wants it to be a family shoot with her brither in attendance also! She knows who I am and who my daughter is, so is clearly out to take what she can from this family. I do not want to let them anywhere near my property let alone spend an hour or two trying to get pictures of these people.

What should I do? I fear she will cause me trouble no matter what I do.

Do I have to honour the photoshoot voucher under these conditions?

Could you not ask a local tog to do it for you, and if necessary, pay him to avoid the confrontation. I know it was to the value of £150, but if you pay him for an hour or so of his time? Not ideal, I know but it sounds as if you badly want to avoid the person.

Remember, 10-22 lens for the most flattering shots.

Just go ahead with it, wait till they settle in and say "well, aren't you going to strip then, you did know it was a nude shoot didn't you". You could really have some fun then, plus you'll have the originals to show around if they ever play up again

Couldn't agree more Bri, but not everyone has the same ways or abilities for whatever reasons.
