I’m about to start booking clients for the first time as a lifestyle/portrait/family photographer and am curious/looking for some advice on how to prepare - both physically and mentally - for the very first professional shoot. What’s good to include in welcome packets? What did you prefer - written communication or phone calls? What didn’t you do that you wished you did before your first session? Etc.
I’m confident in my work, but anxiety has me feeling like I’m forgetting something to include. Any tips and tricks would be helpful!
Thank you, this was so helpful. Especially having a little kit on hand. Did you have all your clauses in one form, as in all in the singular contract? I have my clauses (deadline, model, print, social media) but in all separate forms/papers outside of the contract. I don’t want to drown clients in paperwork.
