Essential Questions To Ask A Potential Senior Portrait Photographer
Whether you are a high school senior or the parent of a high school senior, senior year is a very special milestone. One that you have been looking forward to and is also a little bittersweet. It is natural to have mixed emotions at times. Your senior year will be filled with joy and excitement, new challenges, nurturing lifelong and new friendships, and last-time memories. What better way to celebrate your senior year than with a custom senior photo session? A personalized experience that showcases the young adult you have become as well as your passions, style, accolades, interests, and personality. These portraits will become visual memories as you start a new chapter.
Top 5 Helpful Questions To Ask A Potential Senior Photographer
Are you wondering how to choose the right senior photographer for you? While I would love for you to choose Jamie Loomis Photography for your senior portraits I understand the importance of finding the right fit for you. Here are questions you can ask a potential senior photographer.
How Long Have You Been Specializing In Senior Photography?
Your senior year happens only once and you deserve an experienced photographer that specializes in photographing seniors and understands how to make this day special for you as well as create images you love and want to share with your family and friends. A senior photographer has not only put in many hours perfecting their craft, editing style, and processes, but also has spent many hours working on perfecting their posing and lighting specifically for senior clients.
2. Do You Offer A Consultation Or Planning Session?
The importance of a face to face consultation is the opportunity to meet your senior photographer before your photo session day and see if you will work well together. Can they talk you through the progression of your big day? Do they listen to your ideas as well offer suggestions you may not have thought of yet? An experienced professional photographer will include you in the planning process and discuss locations, outfits, props, styling, and more.
3. Do You Offer Professional Hair and Makeup Options?
Senior portraits should be a fun and stress free experience that is just as exciting as prom or homecoming. Do you prefer a natural look or a full glam look? Do you feel more confident and relaxed when you do your own hair and makeup or being pampered by a professional hair and makeup artist? If pro hair and makeup is right for you can the photography studio offer a professional makeup artist that understands camera ready makeup and will work with you to create your unique look?
4. Do You Offer Print And Digital Products?
Senior portraits are one of the few times in your lifetime that you are photographed by yourself. A full service photography studio will offer printed portrait products in addition to digital photos. Having the option to choose heirloom printed products such as wall art, albums, canvases, acrylics, graduation and thank you cards allows you to enjoy and share your portraits for many years to come. Digital photos are great for sharing on Facebook or Instagram posts but digital files are easily lost or misplaced.
5. How Far In Advance Should I Book My Session?
Photographers schedule senior photo sessions months in advance. If you have a specific date or season you would like to be photographed in please schedule your date with your favorite senior photographer as early as possible especially if choosing a date during peak seasons such as fall and spring.
Congratulations on your senior year! Enjoy this special time in your life. If you would like to know more about your senior session please contact me.
