How to Tell if a Photographer is the Right Fit for Me?
Hey there gorgeous soul.
Have you ever had your portraits professionally taken? Can you remember how you learned about your photographer?
Usually, we see a gorgeous image of a friend or a relative freshly posted on social media. They tell how they had a wonderful time at last week's wedding, and their happiness and gorgeous looks are contagious. You are under the spell - you want to see more of their photos = you love the light and colors and you want it, too. The whole package deal. And, if you are an intuitive shopper, like me, you will look the photographer up and send a booking request the same day. After all, we always need to update our looks, don’t we? :).
On the other hand, if you like to plan and research, you may look online, check reviews, see if you know anyone else with the same good experience like your social media friend, and then wait for the right moment to book.
Fast forward several weeks and your photoshoot date is coming closer. Apart from the booking confirmation and a quick hello email, you have nothing to grab on. Frankly, you don't expect anything either, because based on your experience or on what others told you, what's there to expect?! Right?! WRONG! Because you thrive a connection. You want to fully participate in making and designing you photoshoot. This is your right and your pleasure because you WANT to have a say and choose how your portraits will look BEFORE they are taken.
Many photographers don’t really want or need to learn what you want and what your expectations are. They are pretty confident in their own work, and some of them are really good, too. Yet you kind of feel like everything is out of your control. And that’s left is to hope for the best.
Now ask yourself, is this kind of an experience you would like for yourself? Is this an ambience that inspires you to be your most beautiful self? Can you seriously avoid all that stress about what to wear and how to do your hair and makeup? And if the makeup will last until the photoshoot it over?
Let me ask you this - wouldn't it be so great if you didn’t have to worry about any of it?!
