    I hired ********************************** for a birth story shoot. The fee was $1450. I paid $725 on 7/25/2022 and agreed to pay the remainder on a monthly basis until my due date which was in December of 2022. The contract included birth photos and fresh 48 hour pictures of the baby. Neka was great during the birth (I was induced due to illness, had stalled labor, and ultimately ended up having an emergency c-section). She took good pictures and even advocated for me during the **section. But she wasn't able to do the fresh 48-hour pictures with the baby and promised to do these at a later date. She had multiple excuses and a sick child of her own in the weeks that followed so I was patient and understanding. My baby was 6 weeks old when **** finally came around to do the newborn pictures. The rest of my family wasn't available. She offered to make up for it with a family shoot. We scheduled it for Sunday 4/9, 2023. On this date, my family and I were at the location and she texted frantically that she was stuck at the US-Mex border in a long line of traffic. We rescheduled for 5/27, **** showed up and took some really beautiful pictures. She agreed to have the pictures emailed to me in 2-3 weeks. On June 15th, she texted saying the pictures would be ready for me the following Monday (19th). I didn't receive any pictures on the 19th. I texted her on 6/22 and 6/28 and didn't receive a response. On July 10, I texted her and she said she was homeless and staying at ******** temporarily. She said the internet was slow there. On 7/11 she texted to say the pictures were still uploading. I didn't get any pictures. On 7/17, she texted asking if I was home during the weekend so she could drop off a thumb drive with the pictures. I said I could come to her and pick it up. She insisted she'd come by my house on Sunday. On 7/22 I texted to confirm she was good to come by the next day, she confirmed. I texted her on the 23rd and no response. Then on 7/26, she texted saying she was in a car crash and now has a new phone. She also said she was going to upload the pictures to OneDrive and send me a link in the morning. I have not received the pictures or any further communication from Neka since.
