Sarah I am not a professional photographer. However I am have been a professional sales person for many years. In my experience sometimes when you get that gut feeling it is best to go with it. I have found that sometimes it is better to walk away from a deal than have to put up with people that have unrealistic expectation. In the long run they always end up costing you lots more than you make.

Based on your account of the contact, I would meet with her and understand if she is really picky or just wants to be clear on expectations. If it's the latter you're very lucky. I much prefer someone that let's me know what they want up front. I've never come across anyone that I couldn't please if they let me know what they wanted. If it's the former...Oh well, you can't win them all.
Good luck

At least have a face to face or phone call with her. E-mail and text do nothing but destroy the communication process. I am of the opinion that if someone is gonna be a apain in the @$$, they can be someone else's. If I wanted to be annoyed at work I'd work a job with full insurance and better pay. :)

So what was the outcome? Did you work with this client?
