Sometimes even the best systems can fail, and boundaries you set as a photographer get tested.
In Episode 177 of The Seniorologie Podcast, Leslie shares a recent, real-life example from her business that reminded her why boundaries matter — and how to handle situations when clients push them.
This episode is perfect for senior photographers who want to:
Maintain professional boundaries
Handle unexpected client situations gracefully
Learn from real-life examples instead of theory
Leslie walks through:
Her standard process for booking seniors (questionnaire, contracts, in-person ordering sessions)
What happened when a senior booked and communicated mostly on their own, bypassing the parent
How she adapted to get a positive outcome — while still protecting her time and professionalism
The lessons learned and changes she implemented to prevent it from happening again
This episode shows how boundaries aren’t just rules — they’re tools to protect your business, your time, and your sanity — and why even the best processes need occasional refinement.
