There are so many aspects into running a photography business but which one will make you stand out amongst the crowd? Having great customer service and communication skills will help set the tone for your business. One of the keys to creating a great experience for your clients is getting to know them personally before their session even begins. Learning how to create an effective photography client questionnaire will set you up for success with each shoot.
What do I include?
You might be thinking to yourself, ok I know I need a questionnaire but what should be included? Creating an effective photography client questionnaire will start with a few key aspects.
Get to know your client better
Do you know the names of the individuals that you will be photographing? If you are family photographer, ask about their child’s interest. Are you photographing a wedding? Ceremony and reception information is vital and should be included in your questionnaire. Asking thoughtful questions will help you get to know their personalities and help create a relationship with your client. Want to know the purpose of a photography questionnaire?

Customize their experience
Ask questions about their hobbies and some of their favorite things. When you ask these thought provoking questions, it will give you the opportunity to customize your client’s experience with you.
Increase your product sales
Ask your client’s how they plan on showcasing their images from their session. This will make your client have to think of the images and products they want from their session before the session even begins. Knowing how the client would like to showcase their images will also help you better understand your client’s wants and needs.
