Hi, I'm Nathaniel Crawford! I have been a commercial food and lifestyle photographer for the Chicago/Milwaukee area for over eight years. I get so many questions about my client relation strategies, so today, let's taco 'bout client galleries for food photographers.

Today, I’m giving you a preview of my post-wedding workflow to help empower you to find unique solutions to increase the efficiency in your wedding processing, helping you save time AND book more clients. Hopefully, it’s helpful! But if it’s not, tell me it is anyway.

In this episode of The Beginner Photography Podcast, Raymond walks through his recommended steps for picking a social media marketing platform, setting up your CloudSpot + Plann social media integration, what you should be posting as a photographer, and how to set yourself up for automated social media posting.

One of the most powerful, yet underutilized, gallery features we see amongst CloudSpot users is watermarking! Watermarking images adds a level of protection and professionalism to your brand, ensuring that images are downloaded at their highest resolution while protecting your work when posted online and printed independently. With CloudSpot, you can share watermarked images with your clients in just a few clicks. No need to juggle multiple sets of files… simply upload your watermark(s), dial in your settings, and send off your galleries!

One service that has skyrocketed my success as a photographer is CloudSpot. I’ve been using CloudSpot as my client gallery provider for a number of years, and today, I wanted to share a few unique ways that I love to incorporate some of their features into my workflow!

Keeping your clients engaged after they receive their final gallery of images is a hurdle every photography business faces. With CloudSpot galleries, it has never been easier to add a custom, call-to-action button within every client’s gallery experience. 🙌 Ever wonder how to gracefully ask clients for testimonial feedback… without feeling pushy or icky? Want to rebook your most loyal clients without sending multiple emails? Hope to have your clients share their images on social media and tag your business for credit too?

Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a photographer and educator serving both Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. I specialize in senior portraits and wedding photography. I started my photography business when I was 17 years old, exclusively photographing seniors. I was TERRIFIED to shoot a wedding for the first two years into my career!

Thanks to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest, you can get your work directly in front of millions of people ready to buy your prints or book your services. The best part is, many social media apps are highly visual, making them perfect for photographers.
