2010 April | Chicago, Portland, NYC, Ohio Boudoir Photographer

Last Month during WPPI (which seems so long ago I might) my good friend Jen Williams introduced me to the new life savers, Laurin and Jack of Revolution. As a photographer and as a normal human being, I have my strengths and I certainly have my weaknesses. These guys definitely help me with my weaknesses and in return it only makes me business succeed that much moreBut head over to their website, I did a little Q&A with me last week.

Best advice for someone looking to shoot Boudoir?

The most important thing in my eyes is to have a clear marketing plan for your business. One of the things a lot of people can get caught up in is the need to advertise on every website, blog, magazine, billboard or what not out there. I have learned that for me, my best advertising has been the least expensive like carrying around mini albums in my purses, chatting people up in nice clubs, offering your services to fashion shows, women’s expos, etc. Make a clear marketing plan and use your money wisely! Tip #2: Be comfortable with your clients. They are in a situation they aren’t use to and it’s very important to keep them comfortable, relaxed and having a ton of fun. For me, I rarely stop talking during my shoots and it’s go-go-go. I love to keep it high energy and fun for the both of us! if you’re nervous, it’ll show and then she’ll just be more nervous!
