Finding the perfect photographer!

July 25, 2022 by Kate

What’s the number one thing you look for when you’re searching for the perfect photographer? Is it price, style, location, personality? If you’ve been looking for a photographer you’ve probably realised that it can be a little overwhelming at times. So, I’m here to help you in your search with my 5 best tips on finding the perfect photographer!

1. STYLE.

Every photographer’s personal style is unique. It’s important to take a hard look through their gallery & make sure their style speaks to you. What you don’t want to think is “Oh, they’re good, but I’d like them to do more of *insert pinterest list*.” You should be able to show up to your session & completely trust them to capture you honestly, through their vision

2. PRICING.

It might be tempting to choose the photographer who charges the least, but often this lower price reflects a lack of skill & experience. Photographers charge what they’re worth & what is required to run a business. You don’t need to break the bank to afford a quality photographer, but you should be willing to invest a fair amount to ensure you get the best possible result.

3. PERSONALITY.

I do think it’s important to feel comfortable in front of your photographer. Usually personality is found through the text on their website & social platforms. Follow them for a while & see if they have a personality that resonates with you.

4. PROFESSIONALISM.

The last thing you want is someone who is unorganised & not dependable. There should be a little leeway for unexpected circumstances on both sides, but you do want someone who values their customers enough to remain professional in all settings. A good indication of this would be their client reviews. 

5. THE EXPERIENCE.

From the day you book to final delivery should all be a seamless & relaxing experience for the client. Some photographers take extra good care of their clients (ME!) & being able to completely trust your photographer should be number one on your list. You should be excited to work with them & leave feeling nothing but taken care of.

I hope these little tips help you with your search. If you’d love to talk more about hiring me as your photographer then shoot me a message! I have a few available sessions in the next month & would love to send you some more info to see if we’re a great fit!
