Photography is a challenging yet rewarding job. I am constantly inspired by the photographs I see. Sometimes I look at people’s work, and I know that I could have worked just as well! However, when you are first starting out, it is tough and sometimes can be discouraging. You may even feel like you won’t be good enough to get those 5 stars from your clients. It’s no secret that your business is more than just the pictures you take but it’s the memories you make for your clients.
I was in the same exact boat. I still am in that same boat, if I am being honest. This business takes a lot of work and dedication. It is not something you can just pick up and be great. When I first started out, I talked to all of my photography friends and got advice from them. I got advice that spanned from editing photos, how to handle your clients, and even the best times to shoot. There are even apps out there that show you when to shoot in certain natural lighting!
One of my dear friends, Jill Gearhart, has her own photography business. She does everything from senior portraits to weddings. The wedding business is where Jill really thrives, and you can see this in her work. Jill is amazing at what she does. Her pictures are breathtaking, and her customer service is even better. Her work is at the level that I hope to be on one day.
Jills blog is so cool because she separates a lot of her sessions and she explains the experience that came along with each one. With each blog, you get this feeling that she was just as invested as her customers were. They all look so fun and your customers look so comfortable and happy. Something I admire about Jill and her blog is that she understands the frustrations with weddings and events, and she wants her customers to know that if anything falls through that she can help cover them. For example, she says on her blog that if you need a DJ, a photo booth, or even someone to officiate the wedding that she can make all of these things happen. If you aspire to be a wedding photographer or even any type of photographer then you need to check out Jills page. After you visit her page, you will more fully understand what it means to take care of your customer and how to get the most out of each session.
Are there any photographers that you aspire to be like? Have you ever thought about wedding photography and if you have then is there anything in particular that you are nervous about?
