I’m obsessed with stories of family, creativity, and simple joys.  A nostalgia nerd, educator, wife, and mom of 3, I believe life’s most fun when you’re dreaming big and having kitchen dance parties.

You may have heard the concept that keeping a client is always easier than booking a new one – and there’s a reason for that! When you nurture your family photography clients, it means you’re making them feel seen and heard beyond the session itself. When you can find unexpected or particularly thoughtful ways to do that, you capitalize on the opportunity to not just build relationship, but to foster relationship that will continue to snowball. 

The statistics from current research about nurturing lead generation and conversion are pretty staggering. This is a piece that can’t be ignored, but creating ways to nurture your family photography clients is actually really fun marketing, not to mention, a beautiful way to run a business. 

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 things I’ve done or currently do to nurture family clients and ways you can integrate these or similar ideas into your client nurturing strategy, too – whether you have 2 or 200 of them!

Hi, I'm Leah.
Family photographer, writer, educator.

I’m  one of the first to meet your newborn baby, the one who won't judge your clothes baskets and unmade beds, and the one who can capture the way your husband looks at you with a twinkle in his eye after 12 years of marriage. I believe in honoring people and telling stories.

I believe art has the power to light up the world in dark places, starting at home.
