What Is a Full-Service Photographer and Why Should You Hire One?
It’s no secret that there are a lot of independent photographers and photography studios in the Seattle area. So many of them do beautiful work, but everyone’s photos are just a bit different and have their own look and style to them. But beyond aesthetic differences, when you’re choosing a photographer for your family portraits or your branding photos or whatever it may be, another difference to consider is the experience you want with your photographer.
Each of us does things a bit differently, and I’m proud to give my clients an attentive and unique experience as a full-service photographer.
What Is a Full-Service Photographer
A full-service photographer is one who handles every aspect of the photo shoot process. This means that I plan the session with you, I give you hands-on help with all of the prep like picking out your wardrobe with you, I customize every detail to suit you, and I work with you to create the stunning portraits you could have only dreamed about. At every step of the way, I’m guiding and collaborating with you, tailoring the experience, the session and the photos to you.
Benefits of Hiring a Full-Service Photographer
As a full-service photographer, I’m happy to give my clients so much more than beautiful photos - I provide an all-around enjoyable experience. Hiring a full-service photographer gives you benefits like:
Walking you through the planning and preparation process so they’re no guesswork for you
Consulting with you about wardrobe planning, and even helping you hand-select outfits
Discussing your vision for your portraits and customizing the photo shoot exclusively for you
Providing professional hair and makeup services so you can look and feel your best and so you don’t have to rush to get ready on your photo shoot day
Getting to know you and your family so everyone can feel at ease during the photo shoot
Putting together a personal gallery that’s all designed around the aesthetic you want
Consulting with you about how to display your portraits and helping you order prints, canvases or other products that suit your home
So many people put off scheduling a photo shoot because they’re worried about how much work will be involved. If that’s the experience you’ve had in the past, you might just need a different type of photographer to give you an experience that’s easy, low-stress, and custom tailored to you at every step of the way.
