"I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how amazing the style guide has been for me! It's better than I could’ve ever expected! It's helping my engagement sessions, but it's also changing the way my clients trust me! I just got this email from a bride and it's all thanks to YOU! Here's what she said...
'Thank you, Elisabeth, for being so thoughtful through this whole process! I read the style guide cover to cover, then gave it to my mom to read cover to cover too! It's such a great resource for us! I am just so thankful for the thought you put into this process for all of your brides! You are great and I can't wait to take engagements with you!'
Keep up the awesome work! Sending you a virtual high five!"
"I haven’t even gone through and personalized the style guide or printed it for clients yet. I just sent snippets of the “What to Wear” section to two of my couples before their engagement sessions. What a difference! It totally took the photos to a more polished level!"
"I thought I was educating my clients and helping them prepare for successful and beautiful sessions. Then I bought the guide. And I was hooked. Because my first time using it, the caliber of my work improved over night -- and now I have images that sell themselves."
"I bought the style guide, edited the Word document and sent just the text in an email to my clients who had their engagement session in just a few days. When they showed up, I was shocked. I couldn't believe how good they looked."

Maria sent JUST the text of the style guide to her clients.
When they walked up, she couldn't believe her eyes...

I used to just cross my fingers and hope for the best. Then I did a quick amateur looking word doc with bullet points of things I'd run into in the past...
My couples have been on point! They now are happy to get hair and makeup done and are super stoked to pull out all the stops and get super dressed up! I was really happy that I wasn't answering the same 30 questions over and over about the engagement session, and I am able to show my clients my REAL LIFE previous clients outfits for inspiration and it reinforces it in their mind because chances are they've seen them on my social media. I feel like this means more than a Pinterest board full of random people.
How I approach a shoot! I am no longer anxious before shoots because I know that they will come looking like the movie stars that they are! It has also pushed me to be a more editorial photographer!
DO IT! It comes in InDesign and is seriously SO MUCH BETTER to edit than Photoshop. The guide itself contains TONS of information I wished I'd thought of and has spaces for your sample photos! I love the version on InDesign since I can see full spreads much easier!
