The Importance of Reviews for Small Businesses: How Your Feedback Helps Us Grow
As a small business owner, especially in the competitive world of photography, reviews are one of the most valuable resources I can receive. Whether you’ve booked a wedding photography session with me or had your iris beautifully captured through Iris Photography, your feedback helps me improve, grow, and reach new clients. In today’s digital age, online reviews can make or break a small business, and the impact of a positive review is far greater than you might imagine.
Why Reviews Matter to Small Businesses
Unlike large corporations with massive marketing budgets, small businesses rely heavily on word-of-mouth and customer testimonials to build trust and attract new clients. When someone is searching for a photographer—whether for a wedding, family portraits, events or something as unique as Iris Photography—they’re often making a significant investment. Naturally, they want to ensure that they’re choosing someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with.
A glowing review from a happy client serves as a personal recommendation for others who may be considering my services. When potential clients see that others have had a great experience, it reassures them that they’re making the right choice.
What Clients Are Saying About Me
I’m incredibly fortunate to have worked with amazing clients, and their kind words mean the world to me. Here’s what some of my clients have shared about their experiences:
– “Karen made us feel so welcome and relaxed as soon as we arrived. The whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish.”
– “Karen’s work speaks for itself—she captured moments we’ll treasure forever. The entire process was professional, yet felt personal, which made the day even more special.”
– “I wasn’t sure how I’d feel in front of the camera, but Karen made me feel so at ease. The results were stunning. I couldn’t be happier with our photos.”
These reviews not only bring a smile to my face but also let potential clients know what to expect when they book a session with me. From a relaxed atmosphere to stunning results, each review helps others understand the quality of service I strive to provide.
The Best Tip: A Review
The best tip I can receive from a client is a positive review. Whether you leave a review on Google, Facebook, or my website, it has a direct impact on my ability to reach new clients. Reviews help to:
Build Credibility: New clients trust the experiences of others. Your feedback provides assurance that they’re making the right choice.
Increase Visibility: Online reviews contribute to SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), making my business more likely to appear in search results when people are looking for photographers in the area.
Improve Services: Honest reviews help me understand what I’m doing well and where I can improve. They’re invaluable for refining my services and ensuring every client leaves happy.
How to Leave a Review
If you’ve had a positive experience with me, I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review. It’s easy and can be done in a few minutes:
Google: Simply search for “Karen Simpson Photography” and click “Write a review.”

Conclusion: Your Review Helps Me Grow
As a small business owner, I rely on the kind words of my clients to help others feel confident in booking my services.
