Their excitement and enthusiasm will shine through. When recording or photographing children, be sure to ask the parent to complete an internet/photographic disclaimer.
- Send a personal thank you email to all of your customers after you have provided your service to them and your customer will no doubt reply back to your with some sort of comment, appraisal or review about your service which you can then use.
