I ran across this post by DrewB of Mom*tog that I thought was worthy of sharing. Drew wrote a guest post for mpix (Mpix is a division of Miller’s Professional Imaging) that provides some great tips on choosing a family photographer. I’ll briefly cover her 7 tips below, but I highly recommend that you read her post How to Choose Your Family Photographer in its entirety.
If you are seeking the perfect photographer match, here is a summary of her tips. I hope after reading her tips that you will contact me to judge how I measure up to her tips and to your requirements.
1) The best place to start is with referrals from friends.
2) Not all photographers are created equal. They typically have a unique style and one or two specialties. Look at their body of work and gauge whether or not their style matches what you are looking for.
3) Ask to see an entire gallery.
4) Cost. Cost can be a big factor. Sometimes it can be the deciding factor. But, the most important thing to figure out is what is included in the cost of the session.
5) Be sure you understand all of the photographers policies before booking.
6) Get to know the photographer.
7) In the end your photographer should be someone you trust!
If you’ve read my Home page and my About My Photography Blog page, you know that I’m all about family. My life’s experience has instilled in me the importance of capturing precious family memories for sharing among the present generation and generations to come. This is my passion, and I would be privileged to become your family photographer.
