Last week, I was working with one of my coaching clients. We were prepping her for a photoshoot, so I had her reach out to a handful of photographers for quotes and estimates. As we started to review all the ones we got back, she had a lot of questions. It made me realize that so many of you have to work with photographers a lot and they (myself included) can make things a lot more complicated than they need to be.

So in this episode, I want to talk about photo-speak and all the things that us photographers do that can be a little confusing, daunting, and frustrating for you as the client.

“Talk to your photographer and get these details figured out before your photoshoot.”
