3 Ways to create a great client experience

ON THE BLOG

My tool kit

Photo editing & hosting

If you cull your sessions in Lightroom or ACR just TRUST ME- and try Photo Mechanic. It's an inexpensive one-time fee, and SO MUCH FASTER than culling in the other programs mentioned above.

AI Editing that is affordable and incredible! I've been loving it lately. You can get 1500 images edited for free by clicking this button.

Beautiful client photo galleries! The better way for modern photographers to share, deliver, proof and sell online. I love the clean look of Pixieset and how easy they make it to sell prints and products to clients.

Photo galleries for volume photography. I use GotPhoto for my schools and it has saved me so much time. If you are into school, sports, or volume photography of any kind you should check them out.

Marketing & client management

Dubsado is the Client Relationship Manager for business owners who provide one-on-one services. Dubsado provides support from lead generation to off boarding. I love Dubsado because it looks great on the client's end and the automations save me so much time!

When it was time to rebrand I knew just who I wanted to hire. I've followed Bella Maven online for years and to be able to hire Tessa and her team was a dream come true. I am completely obsessed with my new logo and website. My brand finally feels like ME. What is better than that?!

I love flodesk for email marketing because it is easy to use and looks so dang good! 
I've used other email marketing programs and they just aren't the same. Try it out for 50% off and let me know what you think.

Some of the links on this page are affiliate links.
That means I get a small commission if you purchase through this link!
I promise I only share tools and resources I truly love, use, and believe in. 

Canva is perfect for creating beautiful design projects online. I love that I can upload all of my branding elements and easily make fliers, Instagram posts, and pretty much anything else I need to market my business. I'm still learning how to utilize canva but I'm always so happy with what I get from it!

Crm's taxes and galleries- oh my!

These make my life a million times easier. If you aren't already using them- you need to!

ā€œYou know that feeling of wishing you could freeze time and keep your kids little? Christine has given me this gift. The connection, laughter, and genuine moments she captures allow me to exhale knowing I have these photos forever. She possesses the intangible qualities that make you feel at ease, laugh for real, and be present for just the right amount of time in order to capture the best of everyone. Weā€™ve had many photographers over the years, but since Christine entered our lives we see her every single year. And the cherry on top is the quality of prints and other products she recommends ā€” top notch. You are in such good hands with such a good human.ā€

ā€œI canā€™t even describe how wonderful Christine isā€“from her amazing photos to her charming and calm personality. Her talent for photography is pure bliss! I always cringe at photos of me, but when we took our family session at Coronado Beach, I was in heavenā€“not only during the photo shoot but when I received the photos! Christine was so wonderful with my high-energy littles and was just so sweet and easy to work with. She truly is a gem and my family will definitely use her for our photos from now on! Her photos are amazing, but I also think having a photographer with such a calm and kind personality is also important. If you are thinking of having photos taken by Christine please donā€™t hesitate!ā€

ā€œChristine is a pro. From an easy and organized process to set up the shoot, to her clear communication leading up the shoot, to the vibrant approach that helps capture the moment, and the final touches when getting the photographs. Donā€™t hesitate using her as a photographer. Great experience for our entire family!ā€
