When people ask me how my photography business continues to grow, my answer is simple: recommendations and word of mouth. There’s truly no better compliment than when a client loves their experience so much that they share it with friends and family. It means my work spoke for itself—and that trust keeps my small business thriving.
Every session I photograph is personal. Whether it’s a newborn snuggled in soft wraps, a family laughing in the fall leaves, or a high school senior celebrating the next chapter of life, I pour my heart into every detail. That care doesn’t go unnoticed. When clients feel valued, they naturally share their experience—both in person and online.
People don’t just recommend photos; they recommend feelings. When a client says, “She made us feel so comfortable,” or “My kids actually had fun,” it carries more weight than any ad ever could. Authentic word of mouth builds trust faster than algorithms—and that’s the foundation of a loyal client community.
Word of mouth is powerful because it comes from a trusted source. When someone shares your name in a local Facebook group, tags you in a post, or hands your card to a friend, it extends your reach organically. These recommendations often bring in clients who already believe in your work before they even reach out—which leads to more meaningful sessions and long-term relationships.
