1. Set up a FaceTime chat before their session
The first step to connecting deeper with your clients is to break the ice. One way to do that is to set up a FaceTime chat before their session. This gives you an opportunity to introduce yourself, get to know your clients, and go over everything for the session. This will help them feel more comfortable and relaxed during the actual session.

2. Create a personable questionnaire for your clients
Another way to connect deeper with your clients is to create a personable questionnaire for them. Don’t just ask random questions that you really don’t care to know. Ask fewer questions that you will fully remember and leave room for the client to share more vulnerable aspects of their life if they want. This will help you understand your clients better and capture their true essence in the photos.

3. Be genuine before, during and after the session
The final tip to connect deeper with your clients is to be genuine. Ask genuine questions, give genuine compliments, and take a genuine interest in your clients. If you’re being surface level nice just because, they can feel that! But if you ACTUALLY feel in your heart the love and care you have for your client, they will feel that love too! This will help your clients feel more comfortable and allow you to capture more emotive photos.
