Ok, so you’ve decided that it’s time to get some family portraits done. You’ve either gone for YEARS without doing it, or you have never done it at all to be with! So, the inevitable question becomes, “How do I find the best family photographer near me?”, right? Well, let’s try and help you out with that.

Who makes the best family photographer for your family?

First, decide what “the best family photographer” means to you. Is it a shoot and burn experience? A shoot and burn studio where the photographer doesn’t invest much time in the experience; they take a lighter approach by showing up to take pictures, then sending you a link to download the images. Or, do you prefer to have a Full-Service Studio Approach? A full-service studio provides you with a more personal experience and a higher level of customer service. A Full-Service Studio photographs your session with an end goal in mind; which is often to create beautiful wall art for your home, albums for you to hand down to your children.

The important thing to remember is that either type of photography is okay. Neither Full-Service or Shoot and burn is better than the other. Instead, the one that serves you best is always the one that is the right choice.

How do you want your family portraits to look?

Second, think through how you want your images to look; and check out the family photographer near you that has a portfolio that aligns with your vision. Some photographers have a more light and airy feel to their images. Other photographers have higher contrasts with pops of colors. Here is a link to our portfolio, for an example: Click here

Why are you getting your family pictures?

Third, take a step back and determine what the pictures mean to you. Are pictures just a thing you think you should do because someone said you should do them every year? Or, do pictures mean something a little more to you? Is it about getting out those yearly photos for your Christmas cards? Or, do you cherish the moments that are captured and desire them to grace the walls of your home?

Once you’ve gotten those 3 questions answered, you’re well on your way to finding the best family photographer “for you”.
