Good family portrait photographers are a rare breed, it can be difficult to find the photographer that really puts you and your family at ease plus being able to create something truly fabulous for you to cherish forever. I have outlined a few points which may help you to make the process a little easier.
- Firstly ask your friends, if you see an image you like that they have had professionally done there should be a good chance the same can be created for you.
- Have a look at some websites, look through the images to see if any appeal to you. Look for a style that you feel would be most suited to your family as a whole.
- Pricing. This really comes down to what your final image means to you. You will always find a cheaper photographer but as with most things in life you do get what you pay for. Try to see this as an investment rather than just a quick snap of the family. After all a small framed portrait from a excellent photographer would cost roughly the same as pair of designer jeans, you have to ask yourself which will last longer, and what it means to your family.
- Pick up the phone! You will get the best idea about your photographer by simply talking to them. A good family photographer will advise you on what to wear and choosing a good time for young children. They also of course will be very open to discussing the price list and products they can offer you.
These are just a few key tips which will help you on your journey to finding the perfect photographer for you and your family, just remember we are human too!
