Repeat Clients are the Best Clients
As a photographer, I've had the incredible privilege of capturing countless moments in the lives of families, graduates, couples, you name it. Each click of the shutter is a unique opportunity to freeze time, to create memories, and to tell a story through my lens. While every client I've worked with holds a special place in my heart, there's something truly heartwarming about those who return to me year after year.
It’s hard to believe I’ve been photographing Semira and Zahara for 5 years now! I remember when we did our first shoot in 2019 at this same location. They were so small and we just barely made it through the 30-minute shoot without them crying :,) Fast forward to 2023, and these two are brimming with curiosity and joy! I’m grateful for my annual silly photoshoots with the Beatrice family 💜
Building Trust Over Time
When a family returns to you for their annual photoshoot, it's a clear sign that they trust you. They know you understand their vision. This trust isn't built overnight, but rather through a series of shared experiences.
Year after year, you learn to anticipate the candid moments that truly define a family. You understand the little quirks and inside jokes that bring out genuine smiles and laughter. This level of trust allows you to go beyond the superficial, producing images that truly encapsulate the essence of the family. It's not about forcing everyone to smile perfectly at the camera; it's about capturing their personalities and the love they share.
Watching the Kids Grow
One of the most heartwarming aspects of photographing the same clients annually is watching the children grow. Each year, you witness them transforming from babies into curious kids.
You get to see their personalities shine through in each photograph. The shy glances, the mischievous grins, and the silly faces are all a testament to the beauty of authenticity. These are the moments that truly matter and make for cherished photographs.
Creating a Time Capsule of Memories
Returning clients allow you to create a time capsule of memories. In the context of all the shoots we’ve done together, the photos we’ve made tell a unique story. These photographs become a visual narrative of their journey together, capturing the laughter and tears, and the bonds that only grow stronger with time.
These images become treasures that families can look back on with fondness.
While every photography session is a chance to freeze time and create lasting memories, there's a special magic that comes with photographing the same family annually. It's a testament to trust, a journey of growth, and the creation of a beautiful time capsule of memories.
As a photographer, I can't express how grateful I am for these return clients who invite me into their lives year after year. It's an honor to be a part of their story and to document the love and connection that binds them together. Return clients truly are the best clients, and I look forward to capturing many more beautiful moments with them in the years to come.
