Getting photos you love - even with really low confidence
How Clients Are Able To Get Stunning Photos - Even If They Have Low Confidence With How They Look
Want to know how we are able to get our clients from, "AHHH. I know I need to get a session done, I'm just not super confident in front of the camera"..
To..
"My goodness. I am SO happy with how these photos came out. Why didn't I book with you earlier?!"
??
Here's the secret:
1.) Planning well
2.) Letting us take care of you
By the way, before I break down the details of each, I want to say this...
For every single one of our clients who didn't feel confident with how they looked..
EVERY SINGLE TIME, they always look beautiful.
And I'm not just saying that.
It's true.
We are all designed 100% unique and that is seriously an AMAZING thing.
Could you imagine if we all looked the same?
You are the only one that looks like YOU.
How cool is that?
That's the idea of "uniqueness", right?
Being you is 100% unique.
That's why I love working with my clients.
I get to see and meet (and capture with photos) that uniqueness every single week.
It's really such a blessing.
Okay, back to the main points on how we break through the "low confidence" barrier.
Let's start with "planning".
Before all of our branding sessions with our clients, we always schedule a "planning call" prior to the session.
Along with that, we also provide a specific google drive folder for our clients to upload "photo inspiration".
If you're thinking, "what in the world is photo inspiration", I got you covered.
Ever spend time scrollin' through social media and see photos of some of the people you follow and think, "WOW. I would love some photos just like that".
"I love the way she looks in that outfit."
"I love the way she's posed right there".
You start to picture what that would look like for you.
You imagine what your market will think when they see photos of YOU just like that.
You start to imagine all of your social media accounts being taken to the next level with updated photos of yourself that you absolutely LOVE.
Maybe it's when you're spending time on Pinterest and you come across some pins that you love.
Maybe it's when your on IG
Maybe it's facebook.
That's what we do with the "photo inspiration" folder.
We have you simply take screenshots of those photos and upload them to the folder.
That way our team of photographers can jump into that folder before your session day to understand the look you are going for.
You may just want that folder as a general "vision" for the look you are going for, or in a lot of cases...
You may want our team to help mimic those photos exactly.
Either way, we got you covered.
Along with the "photo inspiration" folder, we also have another folder that we fill with our "planning call sheet".
It's just like it sounds.
The "planning call sheet" covers things like:
- Where you are wanting to use your photos
- The type of look you are going for
- The type of "props" you are thinking about brining
- And much more
By the way, we are also there to help you brainstorm ideas throughout the planning process.
By the time it comes around for your session day, our team is READY.
We have your vision totally focused in mind.
We have the exact look you are going for.
We know the type of props you're going to be bringing.
We know exactly how much time to spend with each pose - so we can make sure to get every look you are wanting.
Which leads me to the next point of how we take you from, "AHH. I'm so nervous" to..."WOW. That was SO much easier than I thought".
And that point it...
Let us take care of you.
Just like it sounds.
When it comes to your session day, our team is there to serve you and guide you through the entire process.
Literally no need to worry about how to pose, where to look, how to hold yourself, etc
Our team of photographers will take care of all of that for you.
We'll even have some fun music playing throughout your session to help provide a laid back atmosphere.
And might I say...
Our team is some of the most fun and genuine people you will meet.
And again, I'm not just saying that because they are on our team.
They genuinely love what they do and are SO passionate about serving you.
And here's the thing...
They absolutely know how you feel!
The truth is, most of our team are also totally nervous when it comes to getting photos of themselves done - and they're photographers!
So just know that the same people that are serving you know exactly how you feel.
Best part?
They know exactly how to pose you and work with you to make you look AMAZING.
And here's the truth:
You ALREADY look amazing, they just use a little bit of "know-how" to pose you and serve you so that we are able to capture that with photos.
So...
To answer the big question on how we are able to get our super nervous and not overly confident clients to be SO HAPPY with their session:
Planning & Letting our team take care of you.
I promise you'll be so pleased after our session.
Matter of fact, if you're not 100% thrilled...
We will refund you the full amount that you paid for your session and you still get to keep the photos.
But no need to worry...
We haven't had a client take us up on that offer yet.
But it's okay if you're the first ;)
We're willing to do that because we know how happy you are going to be with your session.

We'll simply be there to learn about your needs and share those details with you.
