This is inspired by the fact that I'm at my wits end.
If someone is providing a service for you, please make sure to pay them on time. Don't make them run after you and give you multiple reminders. They did their job, now you need to do yours!
Please respond to texts even if timing or something won't work out, it's good enough to say "thanks for getting back to me but it won't work out."
Please allow space for service providers to be human the same way you would want that courtesy.
I think that's it for now. I'm so disheartened by the way people act sometimes. I think the bottom line is just to treat people the way you would want to be treated. Smile

Thank you to all those who do pay on time and to those who always have a good word to say (can go such a long way!!). You keep us service providers going.

Wow I couldn’t have said it better! Thank you, from a service provider who’s so burnt out and is owed a lot of money

I'm a photographer and I feel this!

People inquire and ghost all day long. And then some inquire about a date in advance and then actually want to book a day before when either I'm already booked for that or it's a huge hassle to arrange.

Just try to schedule in advance, please! Itt makes your experience better - because I'll have time to plan and the emotional energy to give you the best time.

And please respond after you get your photos. I want to know you're happy. Don't start changing your profile photo and then ignore my messages. And I can see when you're downloading photos so I know you're still alive 😂
