In my private boudoir group on Facebook today, I conducted a live client Q&A with Heather from Weddings by Heather. You can join the group by clicking the button below that’s above the video – it’s open to ALL women.
Heather is my photography mentor, friend, and boudoir CLIENT! Yes, Heather – my mentor – the person that taught me most of what I know about photography – is also a client! 🙂 It’s humbling that photographers come to me for boudoir photo shoots, but it’s equally as stressful. I love that Heather – who is extremely picky about who photographs her – trusted me enough to take her boudoir photos!
I thought that Heather would have a great perspective on a boudoir shoot because she’s been in front of the camera and behind it, and since she’s picky she could talk about why it’s important to make sure you have a boudoir photographer who knows what they are doing! We talk about outfit selection, how she felt during the shoot, whether it was hard not to smile, what she did with her photos, etc. It was a great conversation! Heather and I have been friends for years so it was fun to sit with someone who knows a lot about me – we jab at each other and have loads of fun!
To top the day off – as if it couldn’t get any better – Heather then interviewed me in her group. It’s a group for photographers to learn, grow and share their experiences. It was so great to be able to share a little about myself and how this BOOMING business came to be! A little hint – it takes lots of work and sacrifice – but I’d much rather be a boudoir photographer than a project manager! 🙂 We talk about how I got started, kick butt with goals, how I found clients at first, my thoughts on market saturation, etc. They were terrific business related questions! You don’t get to where I am in 3 years without tons of hard work!!!
Thank you, Heather for letting me interview you and then turning the tables around. If you want to see my interview about my business, you can find that here on Heather’s website >> http://weddingsbyheather.com/blogsite/2016/06/interview-with-maura-chick/
