The importance of getting reviews

One of the things I strive for in my photography business is to get good reviews and testimonials on places like Google and Facebook. I have been pretty successful in getting them. You can read my Google reviews here.

How? Basically I ask. I ask my clients to leave me a review of my services. A few comply. I ask because I know potential clients look at reviews when deciding who to hire. Positive reviews help my business and have helped me get business.

Here’s a couple reviews

One of my last jobs was particularly refreshing. I didn’t ask for the review. The client did it on his own. Here’s what he said:

“Lori Black went above and beyond for my family in very short notice. I would highly recommend Lori for any of your photography needs. Thanks Lori…”

A bride I worked with last year wrote this:

“Last December, right around Christmas, I had the pleasure of having Lori be my wedding photographer, and it was a dream! Lori was so professional the whole day. She had great ideas and suggestions to get the perfect shot, but was open to any ideas and suggestions that my husband or I had since it was our wedding. Lori captured the behind the scenes pictures that I never even thought about but now are so in love with! The train on my dress was a feature that I really loved and wanted to be shown, Lori knew this and captured it in as many photos as she could. Lori was willing to go the extra mile for the shot and our pictures show it!”

49 Google reviews

Currently I have 49 reviews on Google – most of them five star but a few four star. Thankfully, I have not gotten a poor review.

I want to thank my clients who have been willing to leave me reviews. I am thankful for each and every one of those clients and their kind words.

If you work with me, you will probably be asked to leave a review. I hope you will do so!
