It’s my understanding that you can but I’m no accountant.

I would send what you have that are useable and tell them that you had little cooperation from the establishment/cooks/whatever. Tell them how long it took and suggest that you’ll be adding additional hourly rates to your contract. Don’t have one? Make one ASAP.

I have a feeling that you’re being too hard on yourself. Usually when I feel shitty about a shoot it’s generally because it didn’t go as I envisioned but generally the photos are still good. Maybe not portfolio worthy but I’m sure the client will be happy with them if they’ve been happy with you in the past.
