A 60th birthday and a happy mom!

I have just got this message from a client of mine (ahem... my mom!), whose 60th birthday I photographed a while back. I also compiled a photobook of the event which turned out beautifully!

Happy client (mom) = happy photographer!

The point I am trying to make with this blog post is this: If you are happy with the service you get from anyone, the most flattering and helpful thing you can do for them, is to take the time to write a review on their social media platforms or write an email to them that they, in turn, may use as a testimonial. This really helps the business owner to promote their business and for their potential new clients to make informed choices. There are a lot of competitors in every industry out there and as a consumer myself, I always feel like I'm ploughing through a minefield looking for the honesty in a business before I commit.

Talking about honesty, in all likelihood, we have all asked our family and friends to review our pages for our businesses. More is more (in this case) but it's probably a good idea to be transparent about it though!

I will take this opportunity to thank my mom for writing a testimonial for me.

Thank you for your kind words, mom. Love you!

"I just want to congratulate you for the amazing photography of my 60th birthday party.

You are a pleasure to deal with. Your attention to detail and creativity captured the essence of the celebration, your professionalism and calming presence is to be treasured!

I am so pleased that you managed to photograph all the guests, even the 'camera-shy' people. And it's because you have a way of making the guests feel relaxed, including a sense of humour in the moment.

I will treasure my photobook forever! The quality is brilliant! Thank you so much for convincing me to have this done. It is not something that I would have thought of otherwise.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jasmine! I will highly recommend LITD photographic to anyone who is looking for a professional, calming photographer to capture their special moments"
