How strange does this sound to you...

It took me 3 months to decide on my proofs and that was kinda fast! I'd definitely see if something else can be done - there's just no way I would feel 100% confident of my choices without given any time to really look at them.

I laid all my proofs out on the kitchen table and stared at them for a week before I made any decisions! Every night I went over and pulled a few more pics I made a decision on. It's a long process, but one that's very important too

This was a sample of what my dining room looked like - my black and whites were on the coffee table

My friend's photographer had the same policy. In fact, when she went to the studio, the photographer already had the photos layed out that HE thought should go in her album!

My friend made some minor changes, but mostly went with the photographer's suggestions. In hindsight, she's a little disappointed.
She would have done things differently, given the time to look at her proofs more.
