Not MM related...anything I can do?
I had a prior coworker take pictures of DD2 when she was a few weeks old. I offered to pay him, but he told me he was doing it as a favor. I gave him some time afterward to edit the pictures and do whatever he needed to do with them, but then it got to be a long time without him saying anything about it (think about 6 months). I said something to my friend, who was his girlfriend at the time, and she reminded him a few times about it. Since then, they have broken up. I have run into ex-coworker once since then, and he said he forgot he even took the pictures, and that they're in his photo library somewhere. He apparently didn't have my phone number, so I gave it to him to contact me about sending me the pictures. Still nothing...tried to contact him a few more times via Facebook/texting, but he hasn't responded. I don't think I've been annoying about it; I've tried contacting him about once every couple months. DD2 is now 18 months old. Obviously the pictures are important to me, especially since I didn't have any other professional photos taken since I thought I'd have the ones that coworker took. Is there anything I can do? I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place since he declined payment from me.
Re: Not MM related...anything I can do?
If he ignores you, there is nothing you can do. You do not have any legal recourse here - there was no contract or exchange of money.
One suggestion, what about just asking him for the unedited photos stating that you just really want to have them, even if he has not done any work to edit them yet. Or, you could offer to pay him again, but I would not give him any money until you have the photos in your possession.
This is just an unrelated idea...but since you didn't get the professional quality photos you wanted of her for this age, what about finding a photo you adore of her from this time period and having it drawn or painted?
Check out Mike Theuer. All three of our kids have had their 1 year portraits done by him from photos in watercolor. Or new baby will as well. Here's his website. I don't work for him or anything, I've just bee a customer three times and have been very pleased.

He has a Facebook too and you can see basically every piece he has done.
