We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Leanne Hymes. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Leanne below.
Leanne, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
My mission is to provide families with meaningful images that showcase their unique story, with an emphasis on the relationship between a mother and her children. Motherhood surprised me in many ways, both in how joyful it is and how hard it is. I want to give mothers photographs that let them feel the beauty in all of the hard work they pour into their families.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019 and my specialty is in-home or on-location newborn and family sessions in the greater Atlanta area. I’ve loved photography since high school because I think it helps us to slow down and appreciate things around us. I felt that even more strongly after my son was born! I found myself wanting to remember every little detail of him and realizing there was no way I could. My sessions focus families being together candidly (with some direction from me).
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
The best source of new clients for me has been word of mouth from past clients. People are frequently on social media asking for referrals and I’m lucky to have a wonderful client base who recommend me.
We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.
My favorite way to keep in touch with clients is through my email list. It feels much more personal than a social media post. I use it to keep them updated on upcoming session availability, new product offerings and sharing resources helpful to them.
