Fostering a Connection with your Photographer, and Why it’s Important
Connecting with Your Photographer is Important, Here’s Why
Having a connection with your photographer is important, friends. Creating rapport and a comfort level that feels good is something that should be strived for. This helps me, your photographer, document your authentic moments, naturally. Connecting with your photographer also allows them to understand your vision for the session and what’s important to you. I truly believe that the more you get to know the person documenting your heart, the better experience overall you are likely to have. I want to document your essence and tell your story through your gallery. Period.
When you have a connection with your photographer, they will be able to understand what you are trying to highlight and will be able to provide you with a gallery that reflects that. For me, the perfect gallery should be able to not only capture the physical details of our time together but also the emotions and personalities of your children that you know and love so well. When looking for a photographer, it is important to find someone who you feel comfortable with and can trust to create with you and document your authentic love and connection.
Enter me, Hello! I want to be a part of your life. I want to come to birthday parties and celebrations for your kids. I want to cheer you on as you finish your degree. I want to go out and have a drink when you accomplish something amazing in your life. Hit. Me. Up. Courtney, Jeremey, Cayden, Rylen, and Parker are some of my favorite people in the world. I met them when Cayden was just one and I have had the opportunity to follow along with their lives and growing family. Court, your babies are absolutely the sweetest part of life, my friend. I love and am thankful that you continue to include me in your yearly photos and that I get to experience your friendship outside of “work life”. Love you girl!
Anyway, enough of that mush stuff. The point I am trying to make is that whoever you choose as your photographer, be it me or someone else, connect with them. Make sure your photographer values you as a person and listens to your stories and experiences. I promise it is handy when we get to spend time with you in front of our lens. We can see your soul and the more context we have, the more beautiful it can become. So, can I get to know you and your family? Will you share your stories with me?
