My apologies for bringing up a video that's a year old. I found it really helpful, but the end kind of leaves me hanging. I don't know a lot of about Instagram, I was always a Twitter person. I understand what "Stories" are on Insta and I love your ideas for them in this video. But, what you didn't do, was go through exporting process. How do you get the story you created from Canva to Instagram? I've used Canva a little, and I know I need to be more familiar with it, does Canva export straight to Insta now? Or do we need to export as a video, then upload to the Insta? Anyway, other than, this was such a helpful video and it really inspired to get my stuff together and get back to promoting, my business. Thank you. :)

I had a shoot today with a 1 year old and a 5 year old that was a bit difficult. We ended up just walking and getting what photos we could. Baby sister was not having it with her brother and she cried half the session. I felt bad, but did what I could. I could tell mom probably walked holding her most of the day and she was very clingy to her mom, but mom didn't want to be in the photos and didn't dress appropriately which made it even more difficult.

Thank you for these videos! I just came across your channel, and it's so helpful! I'm curious, I tend to be an overshooter sometimes before moving onto the next pose just to unsure that I got some good ones. But I notice you move so quickly from one pose/prompt to another and you're shooting in live mode. It's impressive! What camera are you shooting on? Is the focus just super sharp on it even as you move at a faster pass? Thank you!!
@HelloJudePhotography2 ай бұрын
Hey Erika! Thanks for watching! Great question! I feel like over the last few years I’ve gotten a better handle on my session flow and moving smoothly/quickly through prompts. I also switched to mirrorless (Canon r6) back in 2022 and it is a GAME CHANGER. I was never a screen shooter before but I absolutely love the way it is with this camera. The precision has been incredible and it nails focus so well in my opinion.

1. I think this is the most helpful video for me personally. I have watched so many "how to get started/set up" and this one is the most simplest one that doesnt make me feel overwhelmed. 2. The reminder of getting creative control with a contract even on free sessions is important. I have lost at least 4 copyright bc of not having a contract. This one is a challenge for me.

Thank you!! This was the most helpful video about pricing. I feel like I get "attacked" all the time because my pricing is lower than others who live in the city or I'm not making 10K per session and I'm not upselling. My wedding prices start at 2,300 and go up to 5,000 in my three packages I offer. People in my area do not spend the same money someone in the city would. I DO include a gallery reveal for all my sessions, and we sit down and go over their gallery together. This gives me a chance to show photo albums from KISS and prints that they can feel and touch. I can close a deal with ladies because people want to know what they are getting and seeing it in person will make them not want to turn it down. But also from a faith base, I don't feel right charging thousands and thousands of dollars when my overhead is super low and it's secondary income. It's not a hobby, it's a career BUT I have the advantage of not charging a ton but getting more people booking. :)

Hey! Great question! I'm going to do a full video on this soon with more details and ideas, but basically maternity I do some sort of affirmation cards, belly balm, face mask (something for MOM), Newborn is something timeless for baby- wooden rattle, knotted gown, etc. 1 Year I give a wooden toy camera and a Bible story book for kids, and Christmas is always an ornament of one photo from their session that year.

Hi! I stumbled upon your page a while back and have found it very helpful. I love your style and my dream is to have a studio like yours one day. My question today is how do you have clients pay? Do they pay for all the sessions upfront or do you have them pay when they book each individual session?
@HelloJudePhotography5 ай бұрын
That's a great question. I think depending on how your pricing is set up that changes. If you are a session fee photographer (and then charge collections after session for deliverables) It would make sense to have an "enrollment fee" that they pay upfront for all the sessions. In my case, the investment is all inclusive and includes all deliverables. So I ask my clients to pay 50% of the total at booking. Then I divide the remaining total by the number of sessions (2 milestone sessions, or 3 milestone sessions). Does that make sense? A lot of my clients willingly pay in full at time of booking, but since it is a large sum of money I like to work with my clients on a payment plan if that is helpful!
@whitneyphelps46505 ай бұрын
That makes perfect sense. I like that you can collect some money to encourage them to not back out but you collect some when you do the session too so it doesn’t feel like you are working for “free” for those later sessions. 😅 Thanks for the input.

I think having your white balance just right is super helpful to start. Some days I can get away with auto, but others I need to switch it over to Kelvin. Also having a reflector available (I have the homemade V flat) to bounce light and fill in the shadows is another great source of help. Thirdly if all else fails, using the masking tool in Lightroom can give an extra boost if needed.
