So, you've decided that you want to capture this moment in time for your young daughter or granddaughter, but where to begin? A lot goes into planning the prefect photoshoot that your young lady will not only love, but will leave feeling special! Choosing the right photographer will make or break your experience, so here are a few tips for choosing the best photographer for you:
1) Do you love the photographer's work? Visit their website and you will get a good idea of their style and if it aligns with what you envision.
2) How much experience do they have? If they only have a handful of children's images on their website, they likely don't have a lot of experience working with children. Have they been published or featured in magazines, or even on the cover of a magazine?
3) What do their clients say about them? Do they have client testimonials on their site? If yes, read what people who have worked with them have to say.
4) Do they offer wardrobe for the photoshoot or will you need to provide that? This means gowns, tiaras, flower crowns, etc. How many wardrobe changes will be included?
5) Do they offer a planning session so they can really understand your young lady and design a photoshoot that is perfect for her?
6) Do they offer excellent customer service like a personalized viewing and ordering session for selecting your favorite images?
7) Do they offer the products you want, for instance high quality photo books, luxury folio boxes for storing and display her images, custom artwork, etc?
8) If you are considering wall art, do they offer design services for creating a beautiful single piece or collection for your space? Are they meeting with you in your home, to ensure they shoot in outfits and locations that will compliment your home decor? Do they offer a lifetime warranty for their wall art?
9) Do you like them? Do you think you and your young lady would enjoy working with them? Will they provide her with a magical experience? Do your personalities compliment each other?
10) Are they professional, meaning do they call when they say they will, do they send information they promise, etc.
11) Will you be working directly with them or will a junior photographer be working with you on the day of your photoshoot.
12) Do they provide the type of shoot your would like? Are you looking for lots of snapshot type images or are you looking to invest in gorgeous fine art portraits? These will be two very different types of photographers.
