A discovery call is a critical step in preparing for a photography session.
It sets the tone for the entire photography experience. Here are some ways a client can prepare for their discovery call to ensure a successful and memorable photography session:
Identify your goals and vision for the session:
Before the call, take some time to consider what you want to achieve with your photography session. Do you want to capture a specific location or activity that is meaningful to you? Do you have a particular style in mind? A clear idea of what you're looking for will help you communicate your goals effectively during the call.
Research the photographer's work:
Look at their portfolio to understand their style and the images they typically capture. You'll better understand what to expect from the photographer and help you decide if they fit your needs.
Ask questions:
List any questions about the photographer's process, pricing, and services. This will ensure you have all the information needed to make informed decisions about your photography session.
Be open and honest:
During the call, discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. The photographer will appreciate your honesty and use this information to create the best possible experience for you.
Be prepared to discuss budget:
Be prepared to discuss your budget for the photography session and any additional services you may be interested in. This will help the photographer provide you with an accurate quote and ensure you're comfortable with the costs associated with the session.
By preparing for your discovery call, you can ensure that you and the photographer are on the same page and that your photography session is successful. So, take the time to research and make the most of this opportunity!
