Hello! If you're currently looking for an Okanagan photographer, you have probably opened quite a few websites today and are wondering what the differences are in professional photographers & how to find the best one for YOU! Here are a few tips:
STYLE
Does their style match what you're looking for? The best photographer in your city may be just that, but if you don’t love what they do & how they do it, you may not be completely satisfied. Alternatively, if you love a Photographer’s style, asking them to change various things for your session can result in a very different outcome from what you see in their portfolio. Is there a photographer with a style your heart instantly falls in love with?
Key Point: If you love a photographer’s work, allow them to have creative control to achieve the same for you.
PRODUCTS
What kind of artwork are you hoping to end up with after your session? Does your home have wall space in which you would like to walk by your portraits multiple times a day and enjoy a few of your favorites? Do you want the entire story of your session in an album to sit down as a family and flip through as the years go by? Whatever products you love, make sure your photographer offers the best in those items. Photographers often test out multiple vendors looking for just the right items to incorporate to their product line.
Key Point: Make sure you love what your photographer offers to their clients & makes it easy for you to decide on those items.
CLOTHING
Who will help you with clothing? Do you prefer a photographer to make recommendations, help you shop online, provide clothing for your family, or be hands off completely with clothing? If you don’t know what to wear that will look best together, best in photos, and most flattering, hiring a photographer that helps can be a relief.
Key Point: If you don’t know what to wear search for a photographer that can style your family.
Brand
Overall, how does a photographer make you feel when you visit their website & correspond with them? Are they excited to work with you? Are they prompt in their responses? Are they professional? Do you trust them to be consistent in what they create so that your images will be just as wonderful as what you see on their website? Do they have experience & expertise in their chosen niche?
Key Point: Being 100% confident in your choice of photographer translates into a wonderful experience and natural confidence in front of the camera.
Am I the right photographer for you? Maybe! I’d love to chat more with you and find out.
Am I not the right photographer for you? That’s okay; I want my clients to be 110% happy with their experience + images and I hope that you use these tips to measure other photographers you might be looking at to find one that’s just right for your needs.
And in case you're wondering, I do offer multiple ways to print your photos,
as well as a client wardrobe that is always being added to!
