It is not my practice to aggressively pursue any one. After receiving Michael's message through thumbtack that I was hired and giving me his number to call to set up a session date, I called his number twice, to which I left voice messages. On the third attempt, I did reach Michael, to which he replied that he and his fiance were undecided. I kindly said OK and if there was anything I could do to help make their decision to just let me know. Later that day I was at the allergist with my son and Michael called my number and left a message with my other son that he wanted to set up a session date. So, assuming I was indeed hired, I tried to contact Michael to once again set up an appointment, which he did not reply to. Michael then sent out another thumbtack request for just a headshot session just for him (not with his fiance). I quoted, not realizing at the time that I was quoting to the same person. After sending the quote, I then sent Michael a message giving him info on how thumbtack works. Nothing mean, just simply stating how I was confused as to why Michael was sending another request out when he indicated that I had been hired. Michael then proceeded to send me a message stating how aggressively I was pursuing him and I was on the top of his list but because my quote was the lowest that he didn't think I would have the quality he wanted. At this point, I kindly bowed out and retracted my quote. It is not in my nature to be aggressive, I was simply following through. If someone is not confident with my abilities then that is when I feel I am not the photographer for them. I wished Michael and his fiance all the best.
