Love your photos? Had an amazing experience? Wondering how to thank your awesome photographer? You don’t need to spend extra money to show appreciation (though hey, tips and gifts are always welcome 💁♀️). There are free ways to say thank you — and they go a long way in helping a small business thrive.
Here’s how to become a VIP 5 star client, help your photographer grow, and maybe even get prioritized in the queue… all without opening your wallet.
💬 1. Leave a Thoughtful Review
Reviews are gold for small businesses. They build trust, boost visibility, and help new clients find us.

💌 3. Send Referrals
Hear someone say “I need a photographer”? Tell them about yours. Word of mouth is powerful — and your referral tells us you believe in what we do. It’s also a great way to build lasting connections between small business owners.
📅 4. Come Back Again
If you loved your session, save the name. Reaching out again — even once a year or every other year — means the world. Your returning support shows that we did something right.
✉️ 5. Send a Thank-You Card
Yes, really. A handwritten card still matters. I’ve gotten a few over the years and every one is unforgettable — especially when they include a photo from the session. It’s old school, but it’s magic.
The Bottom Line: Gratitude Matters
You don’t have to spend extra to be a 5 star amazing client — but when you show appreciation through reviews, referrals, and support, we notice. You might just find yourself at the front of the editing line. 😉
Thank you for reading! Thank you for having us as your photographers!
