I will not do a shoot without my husband being present. He has never caused any problems and i ask if I can bring a non-intrusive escort with me. I f the photographer were to decline, then I would as well. It would make me wonder if it was legit. I only had one incidence when bringing my husband and that was b/c the photographer agreed that I could bring him but then when we arrived, he told me husband he had to leave. I picked up my belongings and told the photographer that I would be leaving as well and he quickly changed his mind. My husband stayed. I would think for your own protection these days that you would request one so you aren't accused of anything. Like the girl who tried to break into your studio. If she went to those lengths, can you imagine what else she may have done?

WOOT! You go girl ^^

See this was entirely too well thought out and reasonable a post. You highlighted reasons that people who behave professionally are totally different from people who do not. It's overload. I don't know what to do now....(just kidding, note the sarcasm please! )

That said, I agree with  you 100%.
