CHOOSE THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU
You'll see photographers breaking down pricing for their sessions into these three main areas. We aim to give parents the tools to select the right senior portrait photographer. We encourage you to look at several factors BEFORE price...
- PORTFOLIO
-
This is a big one - ensure the photographer you select has images that are consistent in quality, lighting, color, skin tones, etc. Do you like the style of posing and general feel to the images (are they bright and happy, darker and moody, more mature, more youthful, naturally glamorous?
- PERKS
-
What perks or unique experiences does that photographer offer? Make-up artist, closet, locations, props, studio images, etc.
- ATTENTION
-
How quickly does the photographer respond to comments and emails? How much education do they give you to help you prepare for your shoot? Do they send welcome packets and instructional emails and hold consults? If everything is the same, don't you want someone who will hold your hand and ensure you make the absolute most out of a once-in-a-lifetime experience?
