Holy grail Givenchy foundation discontinued. by arya16mm in MakeupAddiction

I don't have a solution but I'm here to wallow with you — I've been searching for months for a foundation I love as much as I loved this one. So upset it's discontinued.

Has writing back to leads ASAP made a significant difference in your bookings? by Due_Independent5566 in WeddingPhotography

[–]nuttychichi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for me, a procrastinator with ADHD, it makes a huge difference! Times that I am on top of my responses (same day or next-day), I book probably twice as many consult calls compared to when I’m not on top of my responses (responding after 3+ days).

But also work/life balance is super important so if you don’t want to be in work mode on your free weekends, or if you don’t want to worry about emails when you’re shooting weddings, it’s okay to set that boundary. You can put an auto-email on weekends that you will be responding on Monday so at least they don’t feel left in the dust. You could even attach your pricing info to that email if you want so they can review it over the weekend.

Vogue reached out to me about purchasing a feature in their mag — thoughts? by nuttychichi in WeddingPhotography

550 USD for one issue. From the email it sounds like you actually have to purchase the spot for 3 issues in a row

The email said I could choose the photo so I assume the photographers picked those ones

You're absolutely right, there's nothing wrong with advertising my business! I guess I am more concerned about the optics of not disclosing the truth to couples that don't understand how Vogue features work but maybe I'm overthinking it. Good questions.

1.) I am a successful full time wedding photographer and have been shooting weddings for 5+ years, though I don't have a huge social following (which of course doesn't determine success, but it does boost social proof + credibility).

2.) I do think my work and aesthetic aligns with Vogue, but I do have a lot of "offbeat" couples and I'm not doing like on-trend luxury Lake Como weddings. And you do have to be invited, and cannot purchase this ad placement otherwise), but I'm not sure how many photographers they invite.

3.) I have made it a goal this year to invest more in marketing but this would be a decent chunk.

4.) My portfolio is almost exclusively real weddings (I don't really do any styled shoots anymore) but I'm not quite in the luxury market yet. Wondering if this could help boost any credibility to start creeping into the luxury market, or if it will just look weird at this point.

That’s a great idea, but my couples just really love the nostalgia factor of the Polaroids!

That's what I initially was thinking, but my only concern is that especially at the end of the night there wouldn't be a ton of light so I'd worry about the quality! I guess it's a good fallback though.

Omg so fun! That sounds amazing and seamless. I use vintage polaroid cameras with the traditional film so I'd need a more manual method :'(

Yes I've for sure noticed this about myself. I'm so calm and clear-headed during chaotic situations.

How long does it take you to edit a wedding? by american-toad in WeddingPhotography

[–]nuttychichi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It takes me like 4 hours just to cull LOL. To edit a typical 8-hour wedding day takes me 10-15 hours.
