Client Interview: Dana Schmidt
Dana, a talented wedding and stylized newborn photographer in Kiel, Wisconsin, let me pull her away from editing pictures and she put on her wedding dress for a Glam the Dress session.
What made you decide now was the time to do a Glam the Dress session?
I hadn’t really been waiting to do a session…the opportunity just arose and I was more than happy to make time for it!What made you decide I was the photographer to work with to do your Glam the Dress session?
Its obvious to me that you love doing what you do! The connection you have with your clients shows through in your images. I felt very comfortable with the decision of having you photograph me because you show confidence in your photography and how you work with the women you photograph.What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal?
Although my session was not the “whole experience,” my entire experience was wonderful! My favorite part was the session! I was surprised at how comfortable I felt while I was being posed and photographed. It was really fun to start to feel a connection with the camera and photographer.What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
“WOW!” It’s wonderful to have a collection of images of myself that I truly enjoy!How did shooting this session with me change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident?
I look at myself differently…I am confident with who I am and see the importance of being true to yourself.Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yes! I thought it would be uncomfortable but it was not at all!Why should other women do a Glam the Dress session with me?
Because of your talent and expertise in this area of photography. You’re professional while still maintaining a level of personal connection with your client. Its obvious that you take your job very seriously.
Dana is such a dear friend and I am honored she felt comfortable letting me photograph her so I could give her stunning portraits of herself in one of her most favorite dresses.
