How to Choose the Right Photographer for Your Family

✨ 5 Things Every Parent Should Look for When Hiring a Professional Photographer

Choosing the right photographer to capture your child’s story is more than just picking someone with a good camera. It’s about finding someone who understands childhood wonder, values your memories, and transforms fleeting moments into artwork your family will cherish for generations.

But with so many options out there, how do you know what really matters?

Here are 5 important things every parent should look for when hiring a professional photographer—and why they matter so much when it comes to telling your child’s unique story.

1. Education & Experience Matter

Not all photographers are created equal. Ask whether the photographer has taken the time to truly learn and grow in their craft.

With over 14 years of experience, I’ve committed to continued education every single year—attending workshops, learning from industry leaders, and constantly refining my artistic voice. I hold both the Master Photographer and Certified Professional Photographer designations through Professional Photographers of America (PPA) a process that required skill, dedication, and artistry.

But my work doesn’t stop when the shutter clicks. Each portrait you select is transformed into Fine Art using my digital editing skills and hand-done digital painting techniques. The result? Every finished piece is more than just a portrait—it’s a storytelling treasure meant to hang on your walls and live in your heart.

2. Does Their Style Speak to You?

Photography is personal. It’s more than documentation—it’s a feeling. When you look at a photographer’s portfolio, ask yourself: Does this move me? Does it feel like the kind of story I want to tell?

Some photographers lean toward trendy, fast-paced imagery. Others, like me, specialize in storytelling Fine Art portraits—filled with soft light, magical details, and a touch of whimsy that celebrates childhood innocence.

Choose the style that speaks to your heart, because these images will become part of your family’s story.

3. What About Wardrobe Help?

Let’s be honest—choosing outfits for your child’s session can feel a little overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to ask: Does the photographer help with styling?

Do they offer guidance or access to a wardrobe closet filled with thoughtfully selected pieces that photograph beautifully? The right clothing elevates the images, keeps the focus on your child, and helps create a timeless look.

✨ Here’s a little secret: I offer my families access to my Children’s Wardrobe Closet for just this reason. If you’d prefer to bring your own outfits, I’ll walk you through styling tips to make shopping simple and fun—because planning your session should be joyful, not stressful.

4. Am I Getting a Full Experience—or Just a Quick Shoot?

When you're choosing a photographer, it’s worth asking: What kind of experience will I actually get?

Some photographers offer quick, fast-paced sessions where you’re in and out—with little planning or support. And for some, that might be enough. But if you’re looking for something truly meaningful, find a photographer who offers more than just time behind the camera.

Look for someone who walks with you through every step—planning your session, guiding you on outfits and location, capturing beautiful moments, and then helping you turn those moments into cherished keepsakes.

Your child’s story deserves more than a few clicks. It deserves care, attention, and a photographer who treats every image like a piece of art.

5. What Do I Actually Receive at the End?

Before you book, ask what you’ll be walking away with. Are you just getting a link to download digital files? Or will you receive artwork that lasts?

Some photographers hand over digital images and leave it up to you to print, frame, or (more likely) forget them on a hard drive. But your family’s story deserves more.

Find a photographer who offers beautiful, professionally printed artwork—like heirloom albums, framed portraits, and wall art designed to live in your home and heart for years to come.

✨ Love digital images too? You can absolutely have both. With every image you purchase, I include a social media digital file, so you can share your favorites online while still enjoying stunning keepsakes in your home.

Because the moments you treasure most shouldn’t live in the cloud—they should live on your walls.

Ready to Tell Your Child’s Story?

If you’re looking for a warm, full-service photography experience rooted in storytelling and fine art, I’d love to work with you.

Let’s create something magical together—portraits that capture this beautiful chapter of your child’s life and turn it into timeless artwork you’ll treasure forever.
