Looking to improve your sales at the view and order requires a little bit more planning prior to the actual session. I recently worked with a family where I prepped them for the shoot by sending them color swatches along with clothing options. I also found out their home interior colors and they ended up selecting the perfect clothing for the shoot.

Location is also a key ingredient. Knowing a variety of locations is extremely helpful in assisting clients as well. Knowledge of the location gives them a better idea of what you might be thinking for their session and builds confidence that you are the professional.

For a lot of families this might be their first time in decades they have had a family portrait. It can be very stressful for moms, especially if little ones are involved. I have folders on my computer of sample clothing, color swatches, and locations. I then send them to the client once they have booked. Clients have always found it extremely helpful and it places their mind at ease.

Pre-planning as much as possible will go a long way in creating a memorable experience. And one last thing, if you haven't invested in ProSelect sales software, please do yourself and your business a huge favor and buy it!
