I was looking here on this site in November for a photographer and came across Shelly Poe. I wanted to get some photos of my husband and senior dogs. We agreed on a date and location and Shelly said she would send me a contract and invoice. A week before our appointment I hadn’t received anything so I reached out asking if we were still on for those following week. She apologized that she was behind and playing catch up but assured me we were still in for the following week. The day before our appointment and I still hadn’t heard anything from her so I reached back out with no response. I tried to give her the benefit of doubt so we showed up for our appointment at 8:30am. After waiting 20 minutes in the cold, Shelly never showed up so we decided to leave. I messaged her multiple times while waiting for her but she never responded. The only way I got a response out of her was on a Facebook review I left for her. She tried to say she sent me a contract that she never received back. I would think if any professional sent a contract to their client and they never heard back from their client, they would reach out and ask if they ever received it because they never got it back. She’s also tried to say she never got any messages from me that day which I screenshotted and sent them to her. She still never reached out to me personally after that. I would not recommend her as she was very unprofessional.
