I cannot express the joy I feel each and every time I gift clients with my magic “pause button” . I give them the ability to slow down a speedy life and capture it in a few frames of forever memories. Life moves way too quickly; our kids grow up way too fast; we tend […]

I am a worrier and a planner. I’m also a helper. You put all of these things together and you have someone who has thought of just about every “what if” situation and scenario and has a lot of emergency situations covered for you and your photo session. Even for a simple family photo session […]

Ready or not, the holidays are upon us! It feels like every year we spring through leaves and pumpkins into snow and Christmas carols. And I know you have a lot on your plate this year. So, I’m hoping I can help you out just a smidge. Creating & Ordering Your Holiday Cards Maybe you’ve […]

My newsletter is pretty much the heartbeat of my business. It is a monthly check-in that talks about what I’m celebrating, what I’m offering, what is coming up. It offers sneak peeks for my newsletter subscribers and special announcements to them first. New Newsletter Options for Wendy Zook As I’ve added new elements officially to […]

My friends joke that I have a dozen different “jobs”. I do wear a lot of hats (Community Team Member for the Rising Tide Society, photographer and mentor and advocate). Truthfully, I love to keep busy and follow things that I’m passionate about. Selling ONEHOPE Wine as a Cause Entrepreneur Earlier this year, I joined […]

If there’s one area of my family photography business that I’m most proud of finessing this year it’s my client workflow. And, how I take care of my clients for every session through my client experience. Some of this needs to be credited to Amanda Hedgepeth — not only for mentoring me at the beginning […]

A newsletter is one of the most important things I’ve added to my behind-the-scenes of my business. It’s almost like a monthly check-in for me — What do I want to work on this month? What holidays or special events are coming up? What do my clients need during this time of year?

I’ve created a client workflow that, from start to finish, allows me to give an easy, fulfilling process to my clients, and — perhaps best of all for my clients — allows me to turn around family photo session images in as little as 36 hours.

One thing I have put a lot of thought into is how long is an ideal family photo session. I’ve tried different amounts, but honestly, I always come back to 45 minutes being the best timeframe for everyone.

It’s fulfilling enough to deliver beautiful images that tell a story quickly and carefully. It is fulfilling enough to make new friends. And then, in an instant, a few kind words and a few moments of time makes my heart grow ten-fold — a review arrives in my facebook page or in my email. I’d love to share a few of these kindnesses with you now.
