This may be for you if you agree with any/all of these:
You have children/tweens/teens who seem to be growing up way too fast.
You would love to have images of your family that are unposed and are done in the comfort of your home (or favourite spaces).
You are excited about being photographed and being the face of my brand.
As a Family Photography Ambassador for Soft Day Media, you will receive:
Professional photos that show how your family changes and grows throughout a year.
3 x 2-3 hour photo sessions free of charge that take place within 2024 (value of €260 per session).
10 complimentary digital files of your choosing from each session (value of €600 per session) with the option to purchase additional images from the full gallery.
20% discount on prints and products.
Special discounts for referred bookings that occur during your time as an ambassador in 2024.
Sounds pretty great, right?
While I would love to give away all of this for free, this business is my bread and butter so there are a few things I would require of you.
Requirements to become an Ambassador:
Have children. That would be helpful.
Up for having unposed, documentary family photos of your loved ones.
Support my efforts in marketing to families like yours through regularly sharing and promoting my work.
Sign a model release so the images from the sessions can be used for online & offline marketing purposes (brochures, websites, portfolio, etc…).
Provide me with honest feedback & insight on your session experience, products, marketing assets, etc…on a regular basis (i.e. pre & post sessions as well as throughout the year when I have new products/assets I’m testing out and would love to get your opinion on).
Who I am.
Hi! My name is Laura Griffin and I’m a documentary family photographer & filmmaker based in Ireland.
Photography forces me to slow down and I hope my images do that for others as well. It makes me observe and look at a scene from different perspectives and makes me consider our relationships to each other? Ourselves? Our environment? Our sense of place? And then I look to see how I can capture this in a meaningful way.
Why I’m doing this.
I have found that running a small business aimed at parents is a journey of learning and growth. Currently I’m in that learning stage which is where I need your help.
I love capturing those unplanned, raw and very real moments; the ones that make family life so special and unique. But not being a parent myself, I know I am missing questions and/or concerns that only a parent would know and consider.
So, I’m here to learn from you.
I want to gain insight from you parents into how I can create better images and content that truly matters to you and resonates with you. I would love to improve my products, content, and services so they speak to you and are beneficial to your busy family life. Also, since I don’t have my own little ones to practice my photography skills on, I’m looking for families who would be happy to be photographed and be the face of my brand.
By being a Soft Day Media Ambassador, you not only get some pretty great family photos out of it but also you can help create a photography experience that speaks to you and your fellow parents.
Interested in complimentary family photos in exchange for your feedback and time?
Prefer to apply leaving a voice recording rather than type out your answers?
That works for me too.
Step 1: Click on the application link above.
Step 2: Verbally answer ALL of the questions in the application via voice memo in:
POTENTIAL QUESTIONS.
WHAT TYPE OF FAMILIES ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Each family has their own unique journey and I would love to share a more diverse range of what family life looks like, feels like, loves like.
I warmly welcome families who have members that are neurodiverse, disabled, LGBTQ+, POC (People of Colour), blended or rainbow families. Of course if none of these apply to your family, you will most definitely still be considered for selection.
WHEN & WHERE WILL THESE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
The majority of my sessions take place in-home as I often find that is where everyone is most comfortable. If your family is selected and there are other locations that you have in mind, we can discuss them during our calls together.
ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN COSTS?
Nope. For each session you will be able to choose 10 complimentary images from your full gallery. I will also have products which you can purchase at a special discounted rate and you can upgrade and purchase additional images or the full gallery as well.
HOW LONG WILL I BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR?
If selected, you will be an ambassador for 2024. During this time, you will be required to fulfil the Ambassador requirements listed above (promoting & sharing work, providing feedback, etc…)
IF I’VE ALREADY HAD A SESSION WITH YOU BEFORE, CAN I STILL APPLY?
Yes! I welcome families that I’ve already had the pleasure of documenting. I’m sure your family has changed since our time together and would definitely consider your application.
HOW WILL OUR PHOTOS BE USED?
One of the benefits about being a Soft Day Media Ambassador is that the images from the sessions throughout the year will be shared for promotional purposes. This will include online (i.e. website, social media, competitions) and offline (brochures, flyers, print products, etc…).
Of course if there are any sensitive images that you would prefer not to be shared on a public platform, I will fully respect your choice.
