6 Questions You Should Be Asking Your Photographer 

 

  1. How long have you been a photographer?  The longer a photographer has been in business, the more likely it is that it’s not just a hobby for them. 

  2. Which types of photography do you specialize in?  It’s uncommon for a photographer to specialize in several different types of photography as they often only specialize in one or sometimes two genres.  For example, a photographer who specializes in newborn photography might not be the best candidate to shoot wedding photos unless they have the experience in doing so. 

  3. Do you have many repeat clients? This is a great test of not only the quality of a photographer’s work but of their customer service too. 

  4. What is your policy on rescheduling a session?  An experienced photographer will definitely have a policy in place when it comes to a customer cancelling or rescheduling a photography session.  A photographer with policies indicates that they have experience with different types of customers and situations and have created policies accordingly. 

  5. Have you had any experience with (name your specific concern)?  If you have any specific concerns regarding your photo session such as the photographer’s ability to work with a special needs child for example, find out if they have ever handled that type of situation before. Do not dismiss a photographer and their abilities based on their answers to your concerns. If given adequate notice, an experienced photographer should be able to deal with any situation you present them. This is the hallmark of a true pro. 

  6. Silent Question: Use your gut to judge their personality and rapport. A photographer’s main job is to capture emotions and moments. If your photographer doesn’t mesh well with you on the phone, in person or in messaging, chances are you and your family will not mesh well with them at your session and this will show in your photos.

I've been a professional photographer since 2013 and I specialize in family portraits.  I take pride in being given the name Lifetime Photographer by my repeat clients.  I have client testimonials on my website and on my Facebook Business Page.  

A deposit is required at the time of booking a photo session and it's taken out of your final balance due.  A 24 hours notice is needed to reschedule a session or else your deposit is forfeited.   

I hope this blog helps in booking your next photo session.

Aww thank you Kazia for your kind words. Watching your family grow like you said from day 2 has truly warmed my heart ❤️

Kim is my family photographer. She has been there since day "two" literally of my growing family. She made me and my family feel very comfortable as she continues to adapt and go with the craziness that goes on with the kiddos. It amazes me that she just rolls with it with kids because sometimes they are not in the mood and she is still able to capture the best priceless moments with and of them! She is my lifetime photographer and we love her!
