I'm sure she will change her mind but right when she wanted them down they were starting to sell.

Sorry to hear about your experience.
We have had that happen as well. Not with the skeezers, but with some of the other girls. Whether they do the shoot and then change their mind later. Or the BF finds out whatever because they never told them and wants the content down.
We have a very simple policy since we always shoot 2-4 girls at a time. If they want to retract the original agreement, especially since most have cashed the check immediately after the session, we will give you 48 hours to come up with the FULL MONEY for the entire session.
That means
all of the girls involved, and any other fees and aggravation. They do not simply refund us the money for her. She was in other scenes with other girls. So we have to scrap everything from that day. So she
pays for everything. Not one has ever accepted the offer. They just drop it and disappear.
You have to remember, this is a business. It involves more than them. Although, this has really been a non-issue the past 5+ years for us. Partially because I became much better at the three step weeding out process. Part of that is just getting the right mindset you do not care. The second half is the economy. There is always someone else next in line. You simply have to take the emotion out of it.
This is really not where someone new, even with deep pockets, should start as I have said before. There is so many other things I have not yet discussed that go into managing models and even the sessions themselves. You should really start with learning the basics with someone else's content and a clip store. Learn to sell, drive traffic, convert, etc..
It is less costly, and will save you a ton of money. If you have success there, then slowly tinker with producing your own content. You can burn through that money fast. If you do not shoot the scenes right. It will be worthless.
