"Setting Yourself up for Success"
Children and Family Photography

When it comes to children's photography, the biggest obstacle that most photographers must overcome is getting over the fear of working with a child. Most photographers are simply afraid to photograph children. When most photographers see a child on their books they tend to tense up and start to over-plan.

Planning for families should be limited to clothing consultation and location choice. Spontaneity can never be planned. Believe it or not, community involvement and client relationships and a great sense of fun-loving humor set conditions for spontaneity.

In short, over-planning and squelched spontaneity kills children and family portrait sessions.

Today's digital revolution allows photographers to increase their chances for getting saleable images and get opportunities to "wow" their children and family clients with the same range of digital products they offer their senior clients.

Leonard will share marketing opportunities for gaining new clients, tips for spontaneous children and family sessions, and ideas for integrating digital products in with your regular price list.

Leonard Hill has been creating portraits since 1993 when he opened for business, from the basement of his home. Today, his brand new state of the art digital imaging studio sits just up the hill from his family's home, and provides his customers with the latest in trends related to the photographic industry.

Although Leonard is primarily a portrait photographer specializing in children, family and high school senior portraits, his studio has made a conscious investment in acquiring knowledge and skills necessary to enter the school and event market which includes youth league to high school sports, preschool, dance school underclass portraits.
