Summer flies by with seniors and then I blink and it’s the Fall Family Picture Season in Portland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve all been there. You realize it’s mid-October and you haven’t booked your Fall\/Winter family photoshoot. Cause you HAVE to have an updated picture for the cutest holiday cards….right? Just me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know how hard it is to find the right photographer for your family, it’s even harder for me as a photographer! Check out my top 3 tips on how to find a family photographer in Portland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip #1 – Ask a friend!<\/strong> Who have they worked with, who did they love, who did they not love? When you do a google search you’ll find hundreds of photographers, so hearing first hand how the experience was is a great start! For me, a great photographer needs to do more than take a good picture. I want someone that helps me through the entire experience from ease of booking, a what to wear guide or checklist to prepare for the photoshoot, I love extra reminders with all the important info like driving directions and then providing extra service even after the photoshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip #2 – Look at more than just the price.<\/strong> There’s no standard for pricing when it comes to photography. One photographer might charge $150 session fee with nothing included and another might charge $1500 for all the digitals. How can you compare the two? You really can’t, so the best tip is to see what is included for the price. If you have a family of 3 and just want something quick and easy, a mini session might be perfect for your family. If you want to include grandparents and have multiple families, you will want to look for a photographer that specializes in generational portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
