This kit is the one that everyone has been writing me for and wondering if I’ll ever put one out…
It’s finally here!
Made especially for all of you family and portrait photographers who have been wanting a questionnaire that fits a family instead of a couple.
Since the GTKY kit for couples has been such a hit and still going strong I decided it was time for a family specific kit.
After years of playing with my family questionnaire, tweaking, changing, fixing, etc…you get to have a template questionnaire and some ideas to go with it. You can either use it as it is or customize it to your own studio. The best part is that you don’t have to start from scratch.
I’m really excited about this particular kit! In the past couple of years my focus has switched to families and as I look around I see (and hear from photographers) that they wish they had a way to make working with families feel more real and relaxed.
The best part is that the questionnaire has all of the pertinent info you need to keep tabs on your clients and serve them better and it also has all of the questions you want answered about how to bring out the fun and personality of your subjects. This kit has some similarities to the original GTKY kit but with a family spin. You’re going to love it!

**great for couples/engagement
I’ve had people ask me:
How do you get your couples to do such fun things? How do you get them to look so natural and real? What do you do to get them to just have fun? How do you get a groom to relax and have a great time? What do you say to them to get them to do such cool things? Where do you find your locations? They’re all so different. How do you get all of your sessions to look so different from each other? Why do you have such awesome couples? How do you get them to look so beautiful? You must just have gorgeous couples where you live.
Well…this is the answer. The GTKY QUESTIONNAIRE.
In this kit you will receive the ‘Get to Know You’ Questionnaire along with hints, tips, and real examples on how to use it to it’s fullest potential. You’ll find out how I get couples to have fun, relax, be themselves, get out of their comfort zone, in their comfort zone, be crazy, be quiet, be sweet, ignore me, be into each other, be beautiful, love, sing, protest, ride a ferris wheel, laugh, jump, everything…it’s all in here.

The get your LIFE back kit is for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with their life and a bit paralyzed by how much needs to be done. With an easy read to format, lists that will get you excited about taking your life back, and a customized 10 step program just for you, the get your LIFE back kit will help you to begin to balance the demands you face as well as help you to LOVE LIFE again.
This kit is my most personal kit to date. I share how I got started as a photographer, the crazy and overwhelming time I went through, and the rise from those drowning days.
If you got into your profession because you loved your art, craft, or skill and now wonder if it’s really worth it…there is a way a way to live a sweet, beautiful life without fear again.
Why?
The majority of the women who attend the workshops that we teach come to the workshop feeling completely overwhelmed. They feel torn between being a mom and being a business woman, loving both but feeling that both are always being sacrificed in some way. They want to put their heart into being a mom and they also want to put their heart into being a photographer and/or business woman. When they get to the workshop, they don’t know what the first step is or how to climb out of the downward spiral that feel like they’re in. They’re coming to find a way to live their life again without feeling like they are going to drown amidst all of the things they are supposed to be juggling.
By the time they leave the workshop they are rejuvenated, they have direction, and many of them write to me saying how freeing it was to hear about how to get their life back, that they are working their personal 10 step list, and that they are finally living the life they were hoping they would live.
That is the experience I’m hoping to bring you in this kit.
What is in the kit?

As assessment questionnaire to help you see where you are

Davina is amazing! Her “Get to Know You” questionnaire changed not only the way we think about engagement shoots, but the way we think about our entire business in general. The idea of REALLY getting to know your clients so that you can bring out what is uniquely them has played such a big part in our whole “clients turned friends” approach to business. By building on those relationships and really investing like that in our clients, we’ve been able to take all the work out of future bookings because our couples can tell that we’re going to be the photographers that really care about them. The GTKY sheet is not just another product for your business…it’s a revolution. Because once you start thinking about your clients this way, your business will be changed forever.
Before I starting using the ‘get-to-know-you-questionnaire’ with my clients, it was hard to know what to expect when showing up at their engagement session. I didn’t know how my clients would react to filling it out, but all of my brides have said they had so much fun writing out their answers! It gets them even more excited for their wedding and they are happy that I actually care about who they are as a couple so I can capture their relationship the best I can. I’ve found it to be a huge help because now when I show up to an engagement session, I know what kind of personalities they have and what kind of pictures they’re looking for. It also helps us feel more comfortable with each other from the beginning because I already know a bit about them as a couple. And having a comfortable bride and groom is priceless!
I absolutely love the Couples Questionnaire. All of the couples have said they enjoyed doing them. Several grooms admitted that they were not expecting to enjoy it but found themselves getting really into it once they started. Some of the answers I have gotten have been so personal and so emotional–reading them really gives me insight into the relationship between my bride and groom. The answers help me feel like I better know the couple and how to approach them in my shooting.
I think people are perhaps a little more open in their answers since they are filling it out alone on their computer vs. being asked by me face-to-face to share their intimate thoughts and memories. I have a feeling most of my couples keep their printed answers in a box along with their cards, invitations and other special mementos.

Davina’s client information questionnaire is perfect! It made such a difference in my sessions when I started using it. I come to the session feeling like I am meeting old friends instead of strangers, we have plenty to talk about at our session, and it helps so much in determining the perfect location and focus of our session! I also love having all of their information in one place… I print it out before heading out to the session to brush up on their information and I have their contact information right there. I feel so much more informed and prepared and more bonded with my clients due to the information I’ve gathered using this system. We can skip a lot of the small talk and become more comfortable early in the session. It’s great! Thanks, Davina.
I have been using the questionnaire and concepts from Davina for my shoots for a couple of years now and it has totally evolved the way I shoot and interact with my clients. Their answers have sparked deep conversation which allowed us to connect quickly on a personal level, helped me to find some super fun ways to give them neat surprises they will enjoy through their wedding planning, and allowed me to choose fun locations for their session where they can open up and be themselves. Now that I have been using this questionnaire and adapted it to our studio, I can’t imagine shooting without it. Many doors have been opened to shoot amazing places and moments because of this simple step. We’ve been to football stadiums, subway stations, open fields, pig farms and go cart racing, the fun never ends! Knowing that someone can do a handstand or the way they hold hands is meaningful to them and helps me to capture more than images… it helps me to capture meaning and that is what we as photographers set out to do, create something moving, something with a story and emotion not just another image.
