What is a family photographer…and more importantly; why would you book one??
You have a phone and take photos of your kids, family, pets, activities that you are doing so whats the point?
I’ll give you THREE reasons why you should consider booking a family photographer.
ONE:
Your family is growing..and I know; I don’t want to admit that to myself either. I want my littles to stay little and stop growing. However, we can’t stop it and these moments where they want to spend time with us and willing to do all the fun things during a session wont always happen. Take advantage of this age and document these moments. Get dressed up; have fun, enjoy the moment.
When you are looking for a photographer make sure you let them know what you are looking for. I find a good mix between posed photos and candid moments is a good mix. When you are viewing the gallery you have the option between both types of photos that you can choose from!
TWO:
You will regret not capturing the moments with YOU in them! We are all guilty of taking photos of our other family members but not getting into the picture and taking one with them.
Let someone else take all the photos and you wont have to worry. When having a session; I suggest we put phones away because you want to be present for the moment. Get sill with your family, run around, play a game. Your kiddos will remember these moments and when those photos are hanging on the wall they will remember a time that was fun and enjoyable.
Three:
You get high quality images that you can enlarge and put on your walls, send to family members, make a wallpaper on your phone. Images on your iPhone are amazing and I LOVE taking photos with my phone. The resolution isn’t the best and if you try and make a picture bigger you are going to lose the quality of the photo.
When you hire a professional photographer they have the gear to take photos that can be enlarged! You want all the detail in your photos!
Hiring a Family Photographer has lots of benefits! You get to put down the phone and let someone else worry about getting the right photos. You work with the photographer ahead of time to let them know what you are looking for and your families needs. Plus you get to be present with your family which is worth more than anything!
