It’s that time again! Summer is here and outdoor family photo sessions are in full swing.

Do you know that having family photos up can boost a child’s self-esteem? Really! According to actual research, when kids see themselves in photos that are hung in their home it can help them feel like a valued and important part of the family.

Great reason to order some prints and hang them up.

The process of going from booking your session to getting your photos is easy. I know many of my clients lead a busy life and don’t have time for back and forth when it comes to photo sessions, that’s why I aim to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

Hiring the right photographer is important. Before deciding on a photographer to do your session, it's always a good idea to do a little research to see if you're a good fit. Check out their portfolio, their social media, and read their website and blogs. Not every photographer and client will fit well together, so it's important to find someone to capture your family that you trust and feel is a good fit for you. If you agree with the following statements then I think we might be a good fit!

Why do you do what you do? What is your "why"? Think about that for a minute. What motivates you to do what you do, and why do you continue to do it? I was encouraged to think about this in my first Mastermind Zoom. It's something that has been on my mind a lot as I go through the steps of polishing up my business.
