The Client Experience, Part 1: I Know
This was supposed to be an entirely different post. Back in December, my husband and I went to a photographer near where his parents live, to have a Beloved session.

Wedding Idea: Clothesline Cards
At the bridal fair last week, a lot of people stopped by my booth for one thing, and it wasn’t photography. At least, not my photography. They pulled out their cell phones and took a picture of … my “clothesline.” I wasn’t the only one who did this, but I seemed to have attracted attention [...]
