What types of customers have you worked with?

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
While I greatly enjoy all of my photo shoots, I really enjoyed a shoot with one of my smallest clients at a local theme park. A beautiful day with sunny skies greeted us as we walked around finding places to shoot.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
It's important to feel a commonality with your photog. You want the relationship to feel natural and warm because that comes across the lens. You also want to see the photog's recent work to be sure the style meets what you are looking for. You should be over-the-moon with what is produced from your shoot!
