I have the most wonderful clients!

 In the past, I felt like the smiles on their faces when they saw their finished portraits was the most amazing reward ever.  When a 3 year old boy hugged me after a photo session – that said something to me about the experience he just had.  When a bride cried while looking through her proof books – it said to me she was re-experiencing the joy of that special day all over again.  It was all I needed to continue on.  However, this was not all the business needed to be able to continue on.  After 10 years, it was still being called “the best kept secret in Madison”.

I have always felt that asking my clients to write reviews was a bit of an imposition.  However with the popularity of social media, I’ve found that it is quite the opposite.  In fact, my clients are starting to share their experiences all over the web – most unprompted by me!  It touches my heart when I read on the studio’s Facebook page that someone loves their photos or that the time they shared with me was so enjoyable.  They actually took the time to share their experience with other people.  How cool is that?

Today I found a review online that made me smile a lot.  I know this client very well and I know the time she spent writing these words was not time she had to spare.  Thank You to Michelle and Thank You to all of you that have shared your experiences here with Sweeney Photography –  with Me.  I have the most wonderful clients!!!

“My first experience with Sweeney Photography as a wedding photographer was at a wedding that our daughter was the maid of honor. The bridal party was quite large, and I was amazed at how the group and family/guest photos were taken so seamlessly. When helping to coordinate my niece’s wedding in the absence of her mother, I instantly thought of Sweeney Photography…and definitely made the right choice! Even though this was a more intimate ceremony, the pictures turned out spectacular. My niece and her new husband loved them as did the rest of the family. Mary managed to take photos that look both spontaneous and timeless at the same time. She was able to make the pictures take on a unique look for each individual couple and had a package to fit their very different needs. I believe that the photos are the things you will treasure the most from a wedding, and I’m so glad that we were able to have Sweeney Photography capture these memories!”
