Ok……..
thinking………..
Hmmmmm………
What do I do today?!?!?!
What will be different about HIS portraits that no one else has????
I’ve photographed all of their friends in the same temple.
They are using me for my creative talents.
I hope you think of something.
So those are my thoughts as I am arriving at B’nai Shalom of Olney today to photograph Jake’s Bar Mitzvah Portraits before his ceremony and party Saturday night. As previously mentioned I am sure I would feel uneasy if I didn’t walk away with SOMETHING different and unique compared to the rest of their friends. Heaven knows they’re watchin’!
SO I learned something today. Well I was reminded of something today that I almost forgot. Here it is: “get to know your clients personally.” I have Charlie, Jake’s father, to thank for reminding me of that. He mentioned that Jake plays piano and asked if I could take a portrait of him playing the one in the Temple. Naturally I was happy to do it and grateful he mentioned something about Jake that was personal. I needed that ‘touch’ for today’s portraits. So I have to remember from now on to find out as much as possible about each of my clients. The more I know the more I am able to customize their portraits that speak more about them instead of just what they are doing.
Thank you Weiss family see you tomorrow night!
