I attempted to arrange a session today with Angela. A deposit was not immediately raised, but was with the second response. Angela’s email we’re odd compared with other session ladies in that she never gave pertinent or responsive answers, and was happy with vague email. I received a commitment to meet with literally no information on which we could actually meet. Personally, I don’t ever give deposits, but my references have always helped bridge that gap. Angela accepts no other way. Considering the lack of interest in details, but insistence on a deposit, further complicated by a total lack of a positive review, one should anticipate their deposit as being a charitable donation. If I ever do meet her without a deposit, I promise to immediately clarify.
