Booking new clients and keeping them as a repeat client is the goal of every photographer!
REPEAT CLIENTS ARE COMFORTABLE RIGHT AWAY
Most people are not comfortable in front of the camera right away. Especially kids, it takes a while for them to warm up and be comfortable with a stranger and a big camera in front of them. When I photograph a repeat client, the comfort level goes up. You feel like you are friends with the parents and know their kids and their quirks so the kids are so much more relaxed in front of the camera.
A repeat client has already received a gallery from me once or twice (or sometimes more!) before. They already trust me to take them to the best location and to take the most flattering photos of them and get the kids magically to participate.
REPEAT CLIENTS KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
There are so many unknowns when you first meet your photographer. Will they be friendly, will they know how to hide your imperfections, will they get your kids to behave? Once you’ve already done a session together, the families know what to expect. Dads know that it is not torture but a fun session with me, moms know they have to just cuddle up and love on their kids and not stress.
I, AS A PHOTOGRAPHER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT OF MY CLEINTS!
Just as my families know what my photography style is like and what to expect from me, I also know what to expect out of them. Some clients are natural and candid in front of the camera, others need help with posing. Some kids are laid back in front of the camera and some are very shy and need warming up. Knowing my families help me create the best images for them!
This particular family has been with me for the longest time!
I first met them during their newborn session for their 2 months old cutie, then we met again when she was just six months old. Throughout the years I’ve photographed so many milestones for them! By this time, you can imagine that we all have a level of comfort that is only maintained from seeing each other often! And I am so grateful that they have become my forever family!
