Please give credit when posting to social media :)

When you give credit for photos posted online it encourages us to keep doing what we do, not to mention it's good to give credit where credit is due. If you like our photos enough to share them with others online, it only stands to reason that you would also give credit for the photo, allowing others to learn about our services and the quality of photos we provide. If a customer comes up to us telling us that you referred them (even through seeing our photo of you online), and they end up becoming a paying client, we will reward you! Win-win-win!

On Facebook: please mention/tag "Ray Penner Photography" in the caption. If you know that Ray took the photo, you can simply tag him.

On Instagram: please mention/tag "@raypennerphotography" in the caption. Again, if you know Ray took the photo, tag him.

On other social media: if an account for Ray Penner Photography does not yet exist, simply say "Photo credit: Ray Penner Photography".
