Exceeding Client Expectations

Even when consistently delivering quality images, a successful photographer will always do more to ensure their clients an amazing experience. This workshop will teach you how to hone in on the all the necessary soft skills such as communication and understanding so that you can be fully adept at comprehending what your client’s vision is and what they’re looking for when hiring you as their photographer. We show you how to build relationships with your clients and gain their trust from that very first meeting.

    This Workshop is GOLD! It’s helped me a lot in my client interaction. Being a natural introvert, I’m not always comfortable chatting it up with my clients. Having a framework with which to approach each situation (client meetings, first 15 minutes of the shoot, moodboard reviews, etc) has been really helpful. It’s given me a good sense of confidence and improved my overall business. 5 Stars for sure!
