do a test shoot. At that first meeting, Abahel also prefers to
write up a contract.

At that meeting, she gets to know her clients. She uses the
information she gathers in her photography.

“Let’s say I have clients that are very touchy,” Abahel said.

“They like to touch each other. They’re warm, kissing each
other, things like that. I know they will be open to trying dif-
ferent photos. I will do their photos very intimate, very sexy.

I will let them touch each other and smile to each other, and
I know that in most of the photos they will be very close. If I
know my clients are silly, like they love to do faces, I will just
let them run around and take them to a playground.”
Cohen and Aleiner both like to meet with clients before-
hand to get a feel for their clients. They said they want to get a
clearer understanding of what exactly the client wants and to
work out the logistics.

“What I get when I ask, that varies from ‘Get a little bit of
everything’ to mainly this, this and that, and everything in
between,” Aleiner said. “Most of the time, I’m basically left to
my own judgment to make that decision. What I like to do is
get the most clarification to make sure I know that I’m doing
what they want most.”
Abahel values availability in photographers.

“I would really recommend for the client, if it’s a wedding
or Bar Mitzvah or any personal event, to make sure you and
the photographer [are] on the same page,” she said. “If you’re
not sure about a question, ask again. Call as many times as

“The photographer should
have a good sense of when it’s
appropriate to interact, and
when they really shouldn’t be
intervening.” you need. Make sure the photographer will be able to take those
phone calls and provide you with patience, understanding and any
answer needed.”
On the day of the event, Abahel makes sure to arrive early.

Many clients are nervous at big milestones like weddings, so
photographers should be relaxed and try to help out the client,
though the client should not expect a photographer to fulfill
event planner duties.

Cohen said one of the most important qualities in a photogra-
pher comes after the event, in the editing process. She tries to pick
out photographs that she herself would feel she looks good in.

For clients, seeing the photos of their events often allows them
to relive the experience through another set of eyes.

“I do not like having my photo taken,” Cohen said. “I do not
like photographs of myself, so I’m very sensitive to how people
will feel when they see their own photograph. For me, I feel as if
people are paying me for photos, they’re going to look good. ... I
want them to feel good when they see it.” ❤
