The kids….on the bed…equals PERFECTION! Of course we won’t have any of those, but I am so excited for our session in October!!!!

Great job! I really like your outline (especially the comment about the “proverbial 8×10″ – I’m sure it will help your clients know what to expect :)

Thanks for the article! That’s a great way to organize your session. Many times I do the creative shots first, but I like your suggestion to do the (less exciting) group/individual shots first. You are right…Those are the ones that clients end up ordering for their walls and/or grandparents. If you crank those out first thing then everyone can loosen up and get a little crazy with the fun shots!

the formell family | Macomb Quincy Galesburg Illinois Family Photographer

Since I began my ‘official’ photography career, I really have had the best luck with clients. I don’t know if it’s the particular area in which I live, my personality, or the way I market to my target audience, but I seem to attract the absolute most fun, most relaxed, and happiest clients. The Formells…
