Collaboration

Collaboration , my photography business

I have been collaborating with various clients since i started a photography page on facebook in 2012. First it started by people purchasing my prints so we would communicate via message and I had more and more people 'liking' my page and showing interest in my images. I have photographed Charity events and weddings and much more since. I started this second Photography business page in 2013 and now have over 200 likes. 

I have shot family sessions and several weddings and also newborn and baby sessions. Over a short amount of time my page (which is a shared business with my dad) we have had really positive reviews. 

The page now has 5 out of 5 stars due to clients leaving their positive feedback.

It's so encouraging communicating with clients after the sessions receiving such positive feedback.

Here's some older reviews:

At first I found it really hard communicating my business and being able to show off my work due to lack of confidence but as my business has grown and gained more recognition it has boosted my confidence a lot and now I find it so much easier communicating to people not only online but also face to face as well.


What do I ask clients?

When somebody initially messages me asking for a photo shoot my first question is what kind of shoot are they after...
newborn? family? wedding? event?
secondly I can give them a price and also tell them what is included in the price such as...
a disc of fully edited photos
a photo book
prints
two photographers shooting 
etc...

The benefits of collaborating is the recognition, once I have sent the client the photographs they often will upload them to their personal facebook page or tell other people about the photo's they received and recommend us / me to other people which is fantastic.
