Oh how I love engagement sessions! It’s one of the reasons I include them with all of my wedding collections, but more important than my giddiness for photographing couples in love, is the opportunity for engaged couples to get to know their photographer, experience being in front of the camera together before the wedding day,…

I have TONS to edit (still haven’t found the perfect company to outsource my editing yet) so I’ll make this brief. As much as my regular clients rock (and they DO!), I want to say how much I enjoy working with and for other photographers. They are always so understanding, they know how to make…

Now that my daughter is almost 14 (good lord, where has the time gone?), I often find myself struggling to remember what kids do at certain ages. If I’m preparing for a session with a 3 month old, I ask myself, “What did Sidney do when she was 3 months old? Was she sitting up,…

I thought it might be fun to give potential clients a little outline of what a session with me is like. I also thought that there might other photographers who might like to read this to compare and contrast what I do, with what a session with them is like. By all means, if you…

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!
Thank you so much for stopping by, Amanda!
Thank you so much, Jessica. It’s good to be open with clients as well as hear their thoughts and ideas.
I can’t wait either, Mandy!!
Hayley and Ryan were high school sweethearts. Hayley just graduated from Notre Dame and Ryan is a student at SIU. Surrounded by their loving family and friends, they will be reciting their vows this August and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be the one to document this special occasion. To see a slideshow of…

It’s The Hamm Family! They are loooong time clients of mine. Like most of my clients, Kelly and Josh were ready to go upon my arrival. Equipped with outfit changes, ideas, and locations which makes the process so much easier. It was a perfect meld of client/photographer inspiration. Other than a rescheduling due to some…

It’s What to Wear time! As always, these are just a guide. Each client is unique in their own way and my clients have always been able to knock it out of the park when it comes to choosing their outfits for picture day. Every now and then, we all need a little help and…

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…
