Behind the Photos: Q&A With A Client

Christy Knighton first used Photo by Memories to capture newborn pictures of her baby girl, Lucy. Her love of beautiful photography can be seen by anyone who enters her home. Carefully framed images and canvas prints line her entry way and living room, showing off her darling young family.

Today, we'll go behind the beautiful photos we were able to capture and get the details on this shoot from the person who matters the most: the client.

Question 1: How did you hear about Photo by Memories?

 I was about to have a new baby and I wanted newborns taken but wasn't sure where to get them done. One of my close friends recommended Photo by Memories to me. She takes her kids to Vikki and told me she was great so I looked into it and I'm glad I did! 

Question 2: What was the biggest thing you hoped to get out of your session?

I wanted to get some good newborn photos, some of my 18 month little girl and some family photos. I wanted some that would be good to display in my home too since we had a new member in our family :)

Question 3: What are some things you did to prepare for your shoot that you were glad you did?

I have seen a lot of lifestyle pictures taken and always loved them so I was excited to get some lifestyle pictures taken of my own family in my home. I searched some lifestyle photos online and a lot of the ones I liked had been taken on the bed in the parents room. I made sure to tidy up our bedroom so we could get some fun shots in there! I am glad I searched lifestyle photos and knew what I wanted. 

Question 4: Would you have done anything different? 

I always get a little stressed and anxious before pictures but Vikki made me feel comfortable and she was so good with my newborn and 18 month old. I was worrying about things I didn't need to be worrying about! Next time I think I will be a little more calm before Vikki takes our family pictures! 

Question 5: What was your favorite image from your shoot? Why? 

Oh my goodness.. I can't pick just one! I really love them all. I love the ones of our whole family interacting together when we weren't posed for the camera. 

Question 6: Was their anything about the shoot that you were surprised by?

I honestly was surprised at how many BIG smiles my 18 month old had in all the pictures! She is usually pretty shy with new people and Vikki is like a baby whisperer! My little girl loved her and Vikki caught so many of the big smiles!
