Speaker: Jenny Pollitte (Website) (Social Media)
Ever find yourself panicked when working with children and desperately grasping for the “Say CHEESE!!” prompt as a last resort? It really doesn’t have to be that way! In this class, I will show you the techniques & tricks I’ve acquired over the past 10 years to walk you through how I approach, work with and photograph children to create a fun experience they will actually enjoy…which will ultimately lead to higher sales sessions.
The Art of Family IPS: Tapping into Full Profit Potential!
Speaker: Jenny Pollitte (Website) (Social Media)
From small families of 3 to extended families of 30, I will show you my strategy from start to finish of how I walk into every session with a plan to shoot and sell before picking up my camera. From there, I will walk you through my in-person sales session, complete with the different Collections and options that I offer to maximize profit from family sessions on any scale.
The Art of Photographing Families: Embrace the Chaos!
Speaker: Jenny Pollitte (Website) (Social Media)
Do you cringe when you get an inquiry for a family session? Does the thought of losing control during the shoot due to unpredictable children or whiny-ass husbands make you veer away from the genre altogether? Well, you’re not alone! In this hands-on class, I will help you navigate and embrace the chaos that goes along with 99% of family sessions to still produce beautiful images that will have your clients saying, “”Wow, how in the WORLD did you get these?!”” when they come in for the sales session.
