Clients and Friends
To me, there is rarely much of a difference between a “client” and a friend (I don’t even like to call “clients” by such an impersonal title, so I have to put it in quotes!). Sometimes my clients start out as friends, such as this family that I photographed recently in Brainerd. A friend calls and asks if I can take pictures and because I am blessed with sweet and beautiful friends, I love to say “yes”!
Sometimes clients begin as just a name—an unknown person or family—written on my schedule. I get a phone call or an email and then I get to meet a new couple or a new family. By the end of a session, I feel as though I’ve found new friends. (Okay, they might still look at me as the weirdo lady with a camera, but I think of them as new friends! And hey, if I’m taking your picture, wouldn’t you rather I saw you through the lens of friendship?!!)
Well, as I mentioned, this darling family falls in the category of old friends who flatter me by asking me to take their pictures. I always have so much fun with them!
We had some fun with some random old chairs and a sign outside of a driving school. You never know where you’ll find your best “props”!
She is the sweetest thing ever, but isn’t she giving some good sass on this picture?! I love it!
Cutest couple ever….I say it every year we take the annual family pictures!
