I got my small res proofs over a week ago and had originally paid for two. I made my selections but haven't heard back yet.

I feel kinda meh about the experience. She was very nice, kind, and professional. But the photos were really unflattering of me and I was hoping for more focus on my new tail. A lot of the proofs I was sent were ones I would of deleted off the camera if we were doing the photos.

But I had really amazing photos the year before for free. You win some, you lose some.

Sean took amazing underwater photos of me on christomer s camera. I was so proud of them but I knew wed probably never see them and I was right. Last year a whole card of peoples underwater photos went 'missing' and people never got them. I expected the same thing to happen this year and since sean was worried about flooding the camera we didn't make copies of the pics. So Chris has em somewhere in digital land with last years missing photos.

Susans photos seem to be hit or miss this year. I'm not sure if it was the pool conditions or the schedule or what. A few people weren't happy with theirs.

But I'm glad Pearlie found one she likes and it is so awesome to showcase her stunning tail. I saw it in person. Photos rarely do it justice!!!
I kinda feel the same, I have maybe two half-decent photos, one has the fluke half out the water and the other is a portrait-reflection shot that doesn't even show my tail and I really wanted photos to profile my tail as it was my very first tail swim.

I just feel a bit bleh about the experience too. But I also can't really complain cause I was entirely late for my shoot due to taking too long heat-setting my tail before I got a lift to the pool with the others, and Susan managed to fit me in, when she didn't have to.

I'm also a perfectionist graduate photographer so my standards are going to be higher xD

anyways didn't want to start any drama or derail, just thought I would share that I feel the same. Replied with my image choice the other day and not heard back yet either.
