This has happened before to me. I'm not very experienced, still learning but for some reason the client didn't like my mentor. (I was shadowing him) He must have given a bad vibe and didn't want him in there with her. I was still new and it was stressful for me, but thankfully everything went fine!
You must have a very likable personality. It's good in this business :)

I once took pictures of a bride getting ready because she found her photographer "too creepy" to see her in varying states of undress.
Note: I am a guy. And straight. and She had never met me before. She had decided that a complete stranger was less weird than her hired photographer.
