Collaborate The easiest way to find new clients is to collaborate with local vendors and artists! You’ll be able to meet new people, gain knowledge on shooting in various lighting scenarios, and create art that’s just for you! The value of collaborating is immeasurable - especially when it means getting your work reshared by your new industry friends! Vendors like hair and makeup artists, florists, venue owners, etc. are all great connections to have! You never know who follows who on social media, so getting these fellow creatives to share your work is worth its weight in gold!
Social Media
Speaking of social media, it’s all about the long game when it comes to posting on socials! Getting new clients = posting consistently with thought provoking and engaging captions! Show your personality, share how a shoot made you feel, and most importantly, stay authentic. Post stories, reels, and even dabble in creating Tik Tok videos. Tag any and all vendors you work with to get your work in front of a larger audience! It’s really that easy!
