Hi There! That's me ↑ - the face behind Cara Olson Photography. I conducted a little interview with myself, so that you know exactly what to expect when you book a session with me.
An Interview with Cara Olson
1. How long have you been a photographer?
I have been a {professional} photographer for three years and I established my LLC in 2017. Photography was a long time hobby of mine and I am so excited that it has turned into a growing business!
2. What gear do you use?
I shoot with a Nikon D750 and I primarily use prime lenses. My favorite prime lens is my 50mm, but I do also shoot with a 24mm, 35mm and 85mm lens. My last three cameras have been Nikon's, so I am very familiar with how they work and have created a workflow that helps me create consistent work for all of my clients.
3. Do you have insurance?
I do carry both liability and general coverage to help protect myself, my gear and my clients.
4. What is your policy on rescheduling a session?
I have a family of my own and I know that life happens. In most situations (illness, weather, etc.) I am happy to reschedule the session one time. I do require a 24 hour noticed in order to avoid a $25 rescheduling fee.
5. How do you educate yourself to take better photos?
A large part of my investment into my business is furthering my education. Most of my education is done online through workshops and webinars. I take classes to both better my understanding on how to maintain and grow a business as well as how to better my client experience. I have a passion when it comes to learning new things about photography and how to create the best client experience possible!
6. Do you have repeat clients?
I do! Being able to capture a client's family as they grow is one of my favorite things about my job! As a thank you to returning clients and their referrals, I created a Client Referral Program {click here to read more}. I have had clients receive FREE sessions through the referral program.
7. What type of session is your favorite?
This is a tough question, as I truly love shooting all the session that I offer. If I had to choose just one, I would say it would be Lifestyle Newborn Sessions. I love being able to capture your growing family in those first few weeks after baby arrives!
What other questions do you have for me?
