choosing the right photographer for you

September 1, 2023December 15, 2023 family

Hi there! Since you have found yourself here, I am guessing you have probably opened quite a few photographer websites today and are wondering what all the differences are in professional photographers – what to look for, and how to find the best one for you.

Choosing your photographer is a very personal thing. Your photographer is capturing, and preserving your family’s story. These images you create with your photographer will be looked back on and cherished for years to come. That is why I believe your family photographs are one for most important family heirlooms. They should treated as such from start to finish with each photography session.

Your images live with you forever, so the style of your photographer is essential when choosing the right one for you and your family. If don’t choose a photographer that matches your style, is can be frustrating to not get the results you were hoping for.

Styling comparisons to look for:

  1. the photographer’s studio setup
  2. the style of posing your photographer shares in their work
  3. the color and style of the clothing displayed

If you love your photographer’s work, allow them to have creative control to achieve the same for you.

The number on thing that tends to stress out moms when planning a photography session is figuring out and shopping for wardrobe. If you don’t know what to wear, and struggle with clothing choices – make sure to select a photographer that offers styling assistance or provides a studio wardrobe.

The biggest thing I hear from moms is that always plan to get a baby album made or a beautiful wall gallery in their home – and just never get to it. That is why as a photographer I believe my job is not done until I have designed and ordered tangible heirlooms for their home. Family captures are meant to be printed on products to display, and children feel loved when proudly seeing their face on the walls.

Make sure you the love the products your photographer offers. It makes the process of getting products in your home so easy.

When choosing your photographer, not only the experience of your photographer should be considered, but the experience your photographer is able to give you. Make sure your photographer checks all your boxes! Whether that’s making you feel comfortable with handling your precious newborn, feeling secure with then capturing your family moments, or being to provide products that preserve your new images… being confident in your photographer translates to a wonderful experience with wonderful memories attached.

You can learn about my process and what I have to offer as a photographer here. Am I the right photographer for you? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Please contact me here.

Am I not the right photographer for you? That’s okay. I want my clients to be 110% happy with their experience and images. I hope that you use these tips to measure other photographers you be look at and find one that’s just right for your needs.

Your baby’s first birthday is more than a milest Your baby’s first birthday is more than a milestone—it’s a celebration of the journey you’ve taken together. From those first sleepless nights to watching them grow into a little person with big personality… it’s been a year full of love, learning, and unforgettable moments.

✨ Here’s why a one-year session is so special:

💕Marking a Major Milestone💕
It’s not just your baby’s birthday—it’s a celebration of your first year of motherhood. You’ve done so much more than survive. Let’s honor that.

💕Preserving Your Bond💕
Mommy-and-me portraits highlight the connection that words can’t capture. These images tell the story of your love—and become treasured keepsakes for years to come.

💕You Deserve to Be in the Frame💕
Mamas, I see you. Always the one behind the camera. This is your moment to step in front and celebrate everything you’ve poured into this first year.

💕Honoring Your Motherhood Journey💕
This season is fleeting—but powerful. Your first year of motherhood deserves to be remembered, too.

Let’s capture the joy, the growth, and the deep connection between you and your little one.
