Just had to swap the foreign keys

has_many :client_associations,
    :foreign_key => 'photographer_id',
    :class_name => 'Association',
    :dependent => :destroy

  has_many :clients, :through => :client_associations

  has_one :photographer_association,
    :foreign_key => 'client_id',
    :class_name => 'Association',
    :dependent => :destroy

  has_one :photographer, :through => :photographer_association
