Subject: still havent received her deposit back?!

PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH TONI OVERBY! -- MAGDA, 09:56:39 10/16/02 Wed
For those of you that don't know Taylor has spina bifida, and we were planning on shooting with Toni Overby on the 15th in AIKEN In good faith I sent our deposit in on 9/27/02. But since then Taylor has had some medical issues as described in an email I sent Tammy Parker on 10/4/02.
We were supposed to shoot with her at 8 PM tonight but I called Tammy this morning, she said that they couldn't shoot Taylor that Toni had to leave early. I have a son that needs to be picked up from school and a doctors consult this PM. Which makes it impossible to shoot before Toni leaves?
My whole problem is that I had informed Tammy of this problem on Oct 4th, and luckily I have all the emails to & from b/w the 2 of us! She stated that she had mailed the deposit to Toni already, then I found out Toni does not receive the deposits. I didn't want to short Tammy or Toni a roll, so this is why i IMMEDIATELY let her know. I even found someone to fill my slot and Tammy refused to use the deposit for her. I did talk with Toni and she was very understanding to Taylor's condition & said to book me last apt on wed, but now they have cx that & I'm not receiving my deposit back. Toni said we could apply it to another shoot, but she & I are both not sure when this can be done, especially with the possibility of spinal sx on Taylor. We as most of you know are on a VERY tight budget and I feel as I am being taken advantage of. We were not happy with Taylor's last shoot with Toni, Toni and I discussed that, that is why I was shooting with her again, because I know her talent and wanted to try to get awesome PICS like form the 1st shoot again. but Taylor's health comes 1st.
I am at a lose here, I tried calling Tammy parker back and I was hung up on. Why a coordinator or human would do this to me is beyond me! We have been to 2 other shoots with Toni and have never had a problem. My friends have tried to help me fill my slot but were told no! I have enough on my worrying about Taylor. Does anyone have Tonis cell # that I can reach her at, it is apparent that Tammy wont let me talk with Toni. I know that Tammy did not have enough rolls for Toni and that she emailed a friend of mine just yesterday letting her know she had slots oopend. I d appreciate any help form anyone if you can help, I don't know what to do to reach Toni. And I and sure if Toni knew that Tammy hung up on me she would be upset. It is very hurtful for her business to have such a coordinator. IM positive that Toni will make this right and send the deposit back, considering the circumstances.

Sorry to hear about your little girl. Leave your email and I will get you Toni's number. (NT) -- No name, 19:59:44 10/16/02 Wed
You are on a tight budget and still want to get pageant pics? Where are the priorities here. (NT) -- No name, 09:27:30 10/17/02 Thu
she has a child with a problem and probably wants her to feel good~ (NT) -- No name, 23:51:45 10/18/02 Fri
This mom gave money for a service, pictures, which she did not receive, so why shouldnt she get her money back, especially this being a medical necessity, it would be right to refund it. (NT) -- No name, 11:53:23 10/17/02 Thu
She should definately get her money back, but dont ... -- No name, 03:58:24 10/18/02 Fri
Please ........ -- No name, 20:56:37 10/17/02 Thu
I cannot believe that anyone would NOT give back the money. HELLO the lady says she had people willing to fill her spot. Therefore, THO would not have been losing money. What is the problem? Something is not right here and it sure sounds like the coordinator has a major problem. She needs to be dealt with. Surely THO will see her for what she is worth - NOT MUCH - and will refund this lady her money. (NT) -- If not then I have certainly lost all respect for THO., 22:38:05 10/17/02 Thu
Has this lady received her deposit back yet? We are debating on which photographer to shoot with. (NT) -- No name, 19:07:30 10/22/02 Tue
Toni has NOT refunded this deposit!!! She even had Leisa Myers tell the woman she WOULD... (NT) -- No name, 06:26:30 10/24/02 Thu
Thank you for the info on Toni, I have spoke with several others and they were not happy at all with her proofs and felt it was a waste of money. So we will go elsewhere. Any suggestions as to a fair and good photographer? (NT) -- No name, 17:00:25 10/24/02 Thu

Could Toni be hurting for 125.00 deposit?! Please, she makes enough at one shoot to let this woman have her money back! (NT) -- No name, 18:10:14 10/23/02 Wed
Pulllleeezzzz. She makes a ton of money that is for certain but she is still a tightwad. She needs to be decent and give this woman's money back period. She didn't get photos and had many people willing to take her place if she don't get the money back to this woman she ought to be whiped. (NT) -- No name, 23:09:49 10/26/02 Sat
