  38. Lori PetersonDecember 12, 2011 at 2:50 PM

    Love your tip today. I think new photographers are usually a little unsure about making the suggestions to their clients and now they know that it helps the client to nail down what kind of shoot they want and the photographer to know what kind of shoot they are going to provide! It's great when you ask questions so that YOU (the photographer) knows what is expected of you!

    I also commented on the tip and I will just paste what I wrote here: Personally I like to design the shoot first based on several things - what the client is looking for (if they mention it to me first), the personalities either via questionaire or friending them on FB. Then I choose the location that would most fit their shoot design and that is also convenient for them based on their location. I always have a backup spot in case they don't like it. But I like to take control over the set up because I feel they hire me because of my vision and trust what I have planned.

    Today's tip of the day was eye opening. I never thought about the difference of a print release vs. a copywright release. Makes so much sense, absolutely looking into adding it into my contract! I'm loving the "tips" part of this giveaway!

  86. Lori PetersonDecember 13, 2011 at 6:03 PM

  88. MandiDecember 13, 2011 at 7:46 PM

    Tip #2 made me think. I had never realized that there was a difference. The part I find strange is limiting where a customer can print their pictures, and what size they can print. Why does it matter what size they want?

    ReplyDelete
  89. LaVon LindstromDecember 13, 2011 at 8:35 PM

  90. Rachel ShearerDecember 13, 2011 at 9:28 PM

    I loved tip #2... Since I'm just starting out I didn't realize you could give a cd and still keep control of your pictures. I gave a cd with pictures without a watermark, not thinking about giving them some with a watermark for uploading to the internet. Thank you! xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  91. Photography by LynDecember 13, 2011 at 10:07 PM

    Another great tip today! The best tip was that in the print contract I can specify where the photos are to be printed. This gives me some control over the printed quality. Thank you!

    I liked your tip today. When I first started I took every photography job that people would hire me to do. It wasn't long before I realized I had zero desire to shoot weddings. I enjoy children and tween shoots the most. And once I get the okee-dokee from my surgeon and can get back to work, I am revamping my whole portfolio to reflect it! (Although I still love maternity shoots too and will continue those!)

    I personally love your tip of the day...No matter what business your in, it requires that you put money into it's growth. I also happen to think the camera and the glass is just as important as knowing how to use them. I know a lot of folks who can take extremely good pictures with an iphone...but show up at a shoot with only an iphone and see how many more bookings you get.

    I think your Tip today was spot-on. I have heard several photographers who get paid for their work say they can't upgrade anything. (Not even purchasing Elements so they can stop using Picnik!). Invest in your business and your business will grow, grow, grow! The better your equipment the more control you have over images. I'm not saying you need the most expensive gear, but upgrades are always a great investment!

    What a great tip for today!! I know it becomes hard to charge your friends and family for what you do and I can't...so I gave up! I love photography and I love shooting photos, but I don't love the business end of it and I feel so very blessed myself that I can never bring myself to charge for what it is I love doing. I'm so glad that I was able to walk away from the business of it and just keep doing what I love. I truly admire all those who are able to make it their business because it really is very hard!

    I know EXACTLY what you mean when you refer to being "burnt out" when it comes to taking pictures of your own family. My family asks where the pictures I took of them for Halloween and Thanksgiving are.. I never put any of them up, I've been so busy editing clients up until YESTERDAY. Now I feel guilty it took me so long to edit and send them their package, and I'm not sure if it will taint their overall experience with me. I will definitley stop booking MUCH earlier next year. LOVIN the tips! Keep em comin!
