Embracing Spontaneity & Cherishing Client Longevity
The other day I had the pleasure of photographing a long time client’s three spirited children. Shoot planned, on location and the weather was just not cooperating. Quickly while my subjects are still “fresh” I make the decision to head to the client’s house and shoot inside. Excitedly the children tore off their “picture clothes” and changed into what they felt like wearing. Now, you might think this mother of three would be upset that we were not shooting as planned, however it was quite the contrary…completely relaxed and laid back she enjoyed what ensued after we all made our way up to the kids’ bedrooms. Because my client has known me and used my services for years, she understands how I work and knows that what will unfold will be priceless if we just hang out and ENJOY THE MOMENTS INSTEAD OF FORCING THEM. I’m so thankful to all of my clients who have invited me into their lives year after year, getting to know their families – no formality, no forced shots simply taking time for the moments to unfold. I received an email shortly after her work was posted…music to my ears…”there are so many great pics I don’t know how I’m going to choose!”
