Sorry, didn\'t read this right. It could be this, but even then, you\'ve got a chance to take away her pretextual objection. Address whatever concerns she proffers as though they aren\'t pretext, until you get to the root. Or don\'t, and let the relationship abate, but she doesn\'t sound like a troublesome client, so it seems a shame to let her off the hook without any effort.
I don\'t chase clients or beg them to change their minds. If they have some pre-set prejudices, I\'m not going to expend a ton of energy trying to reverse this. If she is dead set on wanting a female photographer, who am I to tell her she\'s wrong?
I can assuage \"fears\" all day long, but it\'s ultimately their decision and their right to choose. You turning this whole situation into some failure on my part is misguided.
