My best friend/MOH is a really gifted amateur photographer. I always knew I wanted to do some boudoir shots for FI but didn't think I'd be able to afford it. Last JUNE, bff took some shots for me. We got a handful of really great ones. Not a ton, but we took some I loved! Since then FI and I moved away to another state and then back again this past winter so I wasn't too worried about the pictures because we had so much going on and plenty of time. Her and I had talked about them once or twice and she was always promising she'd get them to me soon. Then, she moved away at the end of January. I bought a groupon to have some shots professionally done as well as a photobook groupon to put all the shots into one place for FI. I still haven't mentioned the professional shots to her because I didn't want her to think hers weren't good enough, I really just needed more pictures because I wanted to do a full book and thought they would complement each other.
When I bought the photobook groupon I told her it expired in early May so I needed the pics well before then to put it together. She had just moved though so I didn't hound her for them. A few weeks go by and I realized my finals are at the end of April and the groupon expires 5 days after my last one. So I shot her a text and explained that I'd really love to have the book done before I have to worry about finals so could she get the pictures to me by mid-March (she's just going to put them on a photoshare site for us both to see). She said ok. All this time since she's moved I can hardly get a hold of her when I call or text just to talk (she IS my bff who I like to know what's going on in her life!). So last Wednesday I get my first call from her since her move. She only gave me a half hour of her time (which kinda upset me as a friend after we hadn't talked in 6 weeks) and I never even got around to asking about the pictures since we had catching up to do. So the next day I shot her a text saying "Hey I'd really like to start that book. When would you have time to post the pics?" She asked "tomorrow ok?" I said "Thanks so much! I'd really appreciate that because I have some time to work on it this weekend" trying to be nice and understanding about it. That would have been Friday and I haven't heard from her at all!!!! We are friends first so I don't wana come unglued on her but it's been 9 months since we took the pictures! And I know she hasn't edited them or anything so I'm going to have to do that too. I'm trying to be understanding with her big life changes but it isn't that time consuming to go on a photoshare site, select a folder off your comp, and hit upload! Idk I hate nagging a friend but I can only have so much patience and it's just frustrating at this point. How would you handle this?
