A Little Bird Photography by Jamie Lynn

I’m so disappointed. We’ve paid Jamie over 80 percent of our balance plus a tip, it’s been over half a year since our wedding and 7 months since our engagement photo shoot, and we haven’t seen a single photo from either event. Jamie was very responsive when we originally made contact and booked her, but that changed drastically. Trying to set up our engagement session took months due to long delays waiting for her responses, and I was nervous that we were going to run out of time to actually have the shoot before our wedding. The radio silence was so bad that I was afraid Jamie and Tom weren’t going to show up for our wedding. When we did have that photo shoot (10/22/22), Jamie and Tom were really pleasant to work with. There was a brief period of Jamie going back to responding more quickly at that point, and she told us a few times that she was working on our photos and would have at least some ready in time for our wedding. That didn’t happen, and we still haven’t received any of them. Jamie and Tom did show up on time for our wedding and were very professional and helpful on that day, just as they had been during our engagement shoot. I felt reassured, but then Jamie’s communication dropped off again, and it has gotten progressively worse. Our wedding was on 11/12/22, and there was a gap with no responses from her between then and 2/13/23, when she said “I will have a sneak preview for you within the next week of two.” I followed up on 3/14 when I hadn’t heard anything, and at that point she said she was “going to be sending you some stuff very soon!” That’s the last I’ve heard from her. She hasn’t replied to any of my several texts, emails, or phone calls in the two months since then. She offered various reasons and apologies for her phases of non-communication in the past, and of course things come up unexpectedly in life, but with no acknowledgement whatsoever, it just seems like she’s ghosting me now. I’ve come across a few reviews for A Little Bird Photography describing a similar situation. I reached out to one of the reviewers, and he told me multiple other people have contacted him about being in the same boat, so it seems like this has been a pattern for a few years now. We were so excited to finally have formal wedding photos after the pandemic delays, and now I’m afraid that we’re just not going to get them at all or that we’ll only end up with a small fraction of them in response to leaving this review. Anything would be better than nothing at this point, but we made this financial investment for a full package, and it would be hard to only receive part of it. It’s been embarrassing to keep explaining to our loved ones why we still don’t have any photos to show off because they insist that we’re being scammed. I don’t think Jamie is a bad person, and I don’t get the impression that she’s trying to con us, especially with all of the other glowing reviews out there. I’m guessing she’s been going through something, but it’s getting harder to stay hopeful about this. Jamie has been lovely to interact with in person and during those phases when she does respond; the problem is that those phases have been increasingly few and far between. I’ve been torn about posting this review, but when I think about how awful this stress feels, how much money we’ve spent, and the possibility that we won’t ever see many or maybe any of our photos, I want to offer others an opportunity to consider the risk of ending up where we are now.
