What do you love about your job?
I see and experience life in photographs, whether or not there’s a camera in my hand. There is beauty in everyone and everything, and I am blessed to be able to not only see it, but to show it to my clients. I love meeting and becoming real friends with my couples, their friends, and family. I really get to know my clients so that their images reflect them. I love capturing connections and real moments, laughter, and love.
What or who inspired you to start your own business?
I never actually thought that I would be a professional photographer, let alone have a business that has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 8 years. (I’m still lead photographer, but we’re building and adding interns and junior photographers to our team.) It started out as a love of photography and a desire to not miss my kids growing up. I wanted those memories of them.
Like most photographers, my family started asking me to take their photos, and then my cousin asked me to photograph her wedding. I was so nervous that first time, but it was the most fun and thrilling thing I had ever done. She absolutely loved her photos and within months after, I started getting getting calls from referrals. I decided to set up my business and never looked back. I love what I do, and always tell people that I have the best job!
How would you describe your most typical client?
My typical client is fairly laid back. They trust that I will make them look their best, so they really give me a lot of creative license and we make our sessions fun! I’m always happy to hear their ideas, and work with them to create pure magic.
What’s the most effective way to keep your customers happy and satisfied with your services?
The most effective way that we keep our clients happy is through a lot of clear communication and great value. We help our couples with more than just photographs. We pass on great tips and tricks, refer other vendors, and are there every step of the process so they don’t have to guess or do things alone. We are experts in our industry and we love to share what we’ve learned over the years.
What was your favorite, most successful, or most memorable project on Thumbtack?
We photographed a couples wedding who came here from out of state twice to be photographed by us in Utah, because they loved our work so much. They were a darling couple and we’re still in touch to this day. In fact, they may be moving here this summer, and Larissa is hoping to join our team as an intern. We can’t wait to have her on board.
