Feedback, Recognition and Confirmation

© Web Buttons Inc

As photographers and business owners, we're all looking for confirmation that we're on the right track, done a great job, exceeded client expectations, etc. For all of you as artists, it means so much when a client says more than just "thanks".  

I wanted to share this comment to yesterday's post of Sherry Hagerman's Profoto B2 images. It was written by the subject's mother. Just the fact that she took the time to write in a public forum says a lot about her experience with her photographer.

This is my baby and I'm so happy I found Sherry to take her photos she is such an amazing person and has helped me in everything!!!! She is so talented I mean the best! So creative and so patient !!! We had so much fun and my baby looks gorgeous, these photos are amazing!!!! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures !!! Sherry is absolutely amazing! I'm so so excited!!! Ahhhhhh!!!

I had the hardest time with the title for this very short post this morning because the topic is so all-inclusive of the kind of feedback we're all working towards.  It's about recognition, confirmation and represents one of those isolated moments when you have to be simply proud of what you chose for a career. This just might be one of the truest elements of success you can receive. 

Wishing everybody a terrific Friday and a Memorial Day weekend loaded with family, friends and the people you love most in your life. Most important of all, wishing you a weekend of smiles and confirmation you're on the right track with whatever you're doing.
