VIP Service for AWESOME Clients-Charlotte Photographer

I am SO excited to reveal an online service that clients can use once they book a session with KatieRie Photography! Whoop! (happy dance, HAPPY DANNNNCE).  Guys…for whatever reason I was stuck in the dark ages. I wrote everything down in my paper planner (habit from teaching), contracts were sent back to me via snail mail (I know, I KNOW! Palm to forehead, call me old fashioned! And obviously NOTHING against snail mail)…BUT!! Now I have this system in place and it is sooooooo AWESOME! Clients have their OWN CLIENT PORTAL!!! I know, I know, I was JUST as excited!! See below the screen shot of my site.  Clients can click on “Client Portal” and it will take them to….

Isn’t that COOL???! It’s like your own Facebook page for KatieRie Photography! LOL!

What does this mean to for YOU? My awesome, amazing clients? That there’s a one-stop shop for all your needs.  You are able to see your invoices–what you paid and/or what needs to be paid, you are able to sign your contract right there online, any forms or questionnaires that I need you to fill out, you can find on your very. own. portal.  (BOOM. Mic Drop).

I will NEVER stop servicing my clients EVER.  I will always push myself to learn more in all areas of this little business of mine so that YOU get the VERY BEST.

Now…I’m off to do my own happy dance with my three littles.  These days our happy dance goes along to all the songs in the “Greatest Showman.” It’s the cutest thing, even IF my kids make up all the lyrics and they don’t make sense. #chaosisliving

Newborn Photography Retreat

When I first started Newborn Photography, I quickly learned that this art was waaaaaay more than just “taking pictures.” The more research I did, the more I learned that safety is the #1 priority.  This is frightening.  Why? Because I see new newborn photographers “pop up” everywhere. People who have a camera and think it looks easy….so why not have a go at newborn photography? Don’t get me wrong…everyone needs to start somewhere. I’m not trying to knock anyone for pursing a passion. But…for me personally–I did not want to be “one of those” who just jumps in. In true “KatieRie” fashion, if I wanted to BE THE BEST I had to LEARN FROM THE BEST.  So that’s what I did. I didn’t want to move forward with the newborn photography aspect of my business if I wasn’t properly trained.  I wanted to learn the BEST and SAFEST techniques from the BEST. So I invested in education. In learning. And that investment is NOT CHEAP.  Why? Because the BEST learned from their best.  And THEY invested in THEIR education. See how this works?

Well, I stumbled upon an amazing workshop in Charlotte, NC about two years ago.  And because I took that workshop, I was able to partake in the refresher course which so happened to take place in the amazingly gorgeous Panama City Beach, FL. There were about 20 of us newborn photographers in a glorious beach house right. on. the. BEACH.  Guys!! I didn’t know ANYONE! Except the instructor, who didn’t really know me.  I was super DUPER nervous to travel and stay with a bunch of peeps I didn’t know.  The last time I did that was in college–YIKES!  But…it worked out beautifully. We did maternity photo shoots and a full day of newborn photography. We all got to talking, laughing, sharing a comradery, networking, talking business, sharing tips–it was EPIC! I mean…these were some of the BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS in the WORLD. How amazing is that?! Well…so amazing that I’m doing it again.  I met so many beautiful people from all over who are so open to helping and sharing techniques that we are all going back for more.

When it comes to newborn photography…please invest in someone who knows their stuff.  Not just with camera settings–but safely posing those tiny bundles. I can promise you that I have learned and studied from the most amazing photographers out there.  I will practice safety every. single. time. I can’t wait to snuggle and pose your little squishy bundle of love!
