Im in the throws of two weeks away with shooting beach sessions.   Our Holden beach family pictures are well underway and it’s not just Holden Beach…it’s all up and down the coast!  We are shooting from Topsail Island to Pawleys Island!  I’ve had people ask how that works, how my family manages, how the studio runs etc.  It’s really a collaborative that keeps it all going!  It’s Amy (our studio manager) running things in the studio, it’s my husband and kids helping with things around the house, it’s shuffling and tweaking timing and so much more!

I love what I do, I think it’s evident but I couldn’t do it without all my support!

This sweet baby’s mom came to our Burlington Boutique Studio for her consultation!  Why do we do consults?  Because it gives our future clients the opportunity to see all our products, get familiar with our space, learn more about me and the team and it helps them set expectations for how it all works…working with a custom photography studio!  When she came in, she shared with me how she found us, how things were progressing with her pregnancy, what their dreams were for their sweet baby girls newborn pictures.  Things like:

• I love a pop of color
• I really want to use my veil from my wedding
• I am a tomboy through and through, but she will be a girly girl
• She saw the baby crown and said “yes please”

All of those things we would have never known if it were not for her consult!

The other things we love about consultations is that it starts the process of building a relationship…not just a transaction.  I love the fact that my clients text me pictures when their newborns arrive, I love that I know more about what they do so that when they do come in for a session we have so much to chat about (like this gorgeous girls mom has one of the most interesting jobs) I love that we have a bit more of a connection and that they are now part of the SAP family!  It’s a must!  So if you are interested in a newborn session or any session, we want to chat!

So I am thrilled to share this sweet baby bundle…this squishy baby…this gorgeous newborn with you!  We loved working with them and she is so loved!  As you look through…see if you can see how we incorporated all of the things discussed in her consult!
