In this week’s post, featuring the absolutely gorgeous Westphal family, we are considering how to find a great family photographer. Our family portraits are always among our most prized possessions. It is amazing that we are able to use photographs to take us back to a time when everyone is together, before the kids grew up, before mom and dad grew gray. What could be more important than this history of your loved ones?
With so many photographers, whether amateur or professional, around these days, you would think it would be easy to find one that “fits.” However, when you are looking for the right person to capture your family, you will not want to rush the decision.
Here are some of the most important things to consider while searching for the perfect photographer for you and your family.
Budget
Because there are so many photographers to choose from these days, you could be finding a difference is pricing. My rule with anything from laundry detergent to vehicles is the proven “you pay for what you get.” Now, that does not mean an inexpensive photographer is necessarily bad. They may just be new to charging for their photos. Moreover, it doesn’t mean an expensive photographer is best. Nevertheless, with every purchase you make, it is a good idea to settle on a budget ahead of time, then, find the person who you admire most that charges within that price range. Please, be careful not to choose a photographer because you found a great deal through a couponing site. Many times, you will later learn that you have to spend a great deal of money after the fact to get things that are included in most photographer’s basic packages.

Reviews
Most folks consider word-of-mouth to be the best way to find a trustworthy business. Anyone providing a service should be able to provide multiple references. Online reviews are also a great way to get past customers’ honest opinions about the service. Stevie Cruz Photography has several customer-written reviews available for viewing through popular sites such as *yelp and on the webpage at this link: Best California Newborn Photographers Reviews
Product
What are you aiming to leave with at the end of your photography experience? You may think the answer is an obvious “photos,” but think further before deciding. Are you looking for images for an album? Do you have the idea for a beautiful wall of art on canvas? Will you be ordering photo gift items to send to relatives?
Whatever your plan is, make sure your photographer offers the options before you sign up for the session.
Lastly, I would recommend listening to your own intuition. If you come across a photographer and think, “Wow. This is the something different I’ve been looking for!” contact the photographer and see if the feeling sticks. You might just end up with something magical.
