I just am not loving our pictures. Noodle is also pretty "eh" about them. The more I look at them, the more I wish I'd gone with someone different. It isn't a personal thing (although they didn't seem to take direction well when I said multiple times that I didn't want a lot of typical poses, we wanted something fun and a little crazy and different and maybe even a tad edgy), but their style just isn't going to cut it for me. And I don't want to try telling them again what we want, and hoping they finally get it in time for the wedding, because if they don't I'll be ten kinds of pissed. They're nice enough pictures, they just don't pop at me. Cue my mom, who hates the pictures. Like, haaaaaaaates the pictures. So much so that she is insisting on paying for us to get a new photographer (we were on a budget and what she's offering to pay for will let us get a much better photog). Even eating the deposit, we'd be saving money by not paying the remainder, and we'd be getting a better photog out of it. So how do I notify the current one that we're going to be going with someone else? I know they're going to probably want to know why, and I'm HORRIBLE at stuff like that. Do I just say that their style isn't want we're looking for? What if they say that they will fix it (which I don't think they will, considering how often I told them exactly what we wanted and they didn't do it)?
If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat.
