We use [redacted]/ to order the printed headshots, 200 is 135.00 this is a total of 319.00 this does not include cost of special 9x12 full window envelopes that casting directors demand agents to use.

I am rejecting this response because:
First, [redacted] Robinson was not contracted to provide Background work for [redacted]. She was contracted to obtain audition opportunities, which she promised to do. I have obtained lots of Background work for [redacted] both before and after contracting [redacted] Robinson. So the statement that there is non avaiabe is totally false. But that is not the issue. As far as head shots, [redacted] sent us to a substandard photographer that worked out of his living room and charged me an additional $60. Which she called "Head Shots" so that was on top if the $350 that [redacted] claimed was for head shots. As  far as Fashion week, that was a total joke. It was held in a small one room venue. The only attendees where a photographer, [redacted]'s helpers and about 20 people all relatives of the participants. No exposure what so ever. [redacted] stated that she sent out [redacted]'s photo to two possible jobs, one in TX and one in Fla I believe. Even if that were true, ONLY 2 in a year??? I know for a fact there are many more audition opportunities out there for children. Either way, she was never sent for one single audition. Used a sub standard photographer, instead of her regular photographer, which I will not name since I have all respect for his talent.
