How Leaving Reviews Can Shape Your Photographer's Success
Your words matter—more than you might think.
When you take the time to leave a review, you’re not just filling out a form or writing a quick sentence—you’re helping someone like you decide whether I’m the right photographer to trust with their memories. You’re shaping the future of my little business. And honestly? You’re giving me the encouragement and fuel to keep doing what I love most.
So whether you’ve already written a review (thank you!) or you’re thinking about it, here’s why your feedback means the world—and how it helps others find their way here, too.
Why your Reviews Matter:
In photography, trust is everything. Families, seniors, and clients aren’t just looking for pretty pictures—they’re looking for someone who will make them feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated in front of the lens. That’s where your voice comes in.
When potential clients read about your experience—how you felt during your session, what stood out to you, what your favorite moments were—it helps them decide whether to take the leap and book a session. Your review helps them see beyond the photos in my portfolio—it helps them imagine how the experience might feel for them. And that’s incredibly powerful.
On a more practical level? Reviews also help boost my visibility online (hello, Google!). They play a big role in making sure new clients can actually find my work in the sea of search results. Every single review helps me grow—and for that, I’m beyond grateful.
Tips for Writing a Great Review
Wondering what to write? You don’t need to overthink it! Here are a few simple tips to help your review shine:
Be Specific: Tell people what stood out to you about your session. Was it how relaxed it felt? How I interacted with your kids? How fast you got your photos back? Little details make a big difference.
Share Your Story: If you have a favorite moment or funny memory from your session, share it! Readers love to hear about the real experience behind the photos.
Highlight Strengths: If you loved the guidance, creativity, calm energy, or flexibility I brought to your session, say so! It helps future clients know what they can expect.
Include Examples: Mention your favorite images or moments—and why they matter to you. This helps give future clients a peek into what they might cherish from their own session.
Be Honest and Kind: Your honest thoughts are always appreciated—and constructive feedback helps me grow, too.

The Impact of Your Review:
Every time a review pops into my inbox, it’s like receiving a giant virtual hug. It reminds me why I do what I do—and it helps keep this little business of mine thriving. Your review not only helps me connect with new clients, it also lets me keep pouring my heart into this work—capturing families and seniors and milestone moments in ways that feel real, relaxed, and love-soaked.
If you’ve ever loved a session with me—whether it was an in-home newborn shoot, a wildflower mini, a senior adventure, or a family cuddle session—your words can inspire the next person who is searching for that same experience.
