We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Light + Pine Photography a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Light + Pine , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright, so we’d love to hear about how you got your first client or customer. What’s the story?
I have been photographing families in Arizona for the past 10 years! I love photographing the genuine love and warmth that comes from being a family. What a gift I’ve been given! It is not lost on me the support I’ve received throughout the years!
My first paying client in Arizona was from a local artisan fair near where I reside in Pinetop. Since then, I slowly built my business from continuing to be sure my patrons were completely satisfied with my service which shows in my many 5 star Google reviews!
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 am an Arizona Family Photographer based in Pinetop, AZ. My work speaks for itself, and those that truly value good photography are drawn to my work because of the beautiful scenic backgrounds our mountain town provides, and the warmth you can actually almost feel by looking at my portfolio!
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Service service service. Communication is key! From the time an inquiry comes through until the time that inquiry becomes a client, be clear in your communication on what you provide and be upfront! Provide an experience worth remembering and give excellent customer service! Those reviews matter and have helped my listing to reach potential patrons online when searching for a photographer in Pinetop, AZ!
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Having a website has been the best source of reaching new clients. Many find me through searching online and reach out via my website: lightandpinephotography.com
