When I was a kid, I used to get annoyed when someone exclaimed: You've gotten so much bigger!! Well Of Course I'm Bigger, I'd think, while smiling politely. Now as a grown up photographing the same child every few months, I can't help but marvel: Wow! She's grown up so much! So now, I completely understand why grown ups say this so often. I first photographed this little lady before she was crawling. Look at her now!
It is great to have regular clients. After the first session, photo sessions are far easier - we know each other's personalities, I understand their preferences, they trust that I will deliver good photos. It makes for a more relaxed, funner photo session.
