What To Look For in a Family Photographer – The Woodlands Family Photographer

Are you looking to get some great family pictures done of your family? Overwhelmed by the choices out there, and wondering how to go about choosing your family’s photographer? Here are a few things to look for, when booking your family portraits.

UPFRONT WITH PRICING
Does the photographer provide *all* the pricing info up front, when you inquire? Is there an online guide where Collections pricing is open and transparent? Walk away from photographers who are shy about providing pricing information, and steer you away from asking questions. When you book with Shannon Stroubakis, you receive access to a complete information guide, with all pricing upfront, so there are no surprises later. I have sessions and pricing for all budgets, just ask!

QUICK AND EASY TURNAROUND
How long will it take to get your photos back? Is it easy to download, or do you have to mess around with complex systems to get your portraits? Will you have to wait WEEKS to see your gallery? My turn around time is very fast, and you see your family gallery within the week. Upon payment, the gallery is yours to download and prints are ordered immediately and back within 10 days. As an experienced photographer, I have the ability to get your amazing gallery in a timely manner.

CONNECTION, CONNECTION, CONNECTION
Your family pictures should show the connection of family, and be joyful, soulful, full of light and love. Look for close posing, happy smiles, and warmth and happiness!

BEAUTIFUL FLATTERING LIGHT
The photos should have lovely lighting that doesn’t cause harsh shadows, or splotchy patches on the faces from dappled light. Pretty backlighting or nice overall even light is best. A good photographer knows how to handle the light!

GREAT BACKGROUNDS
Be on the lookout for pictures that have intrusive elements, like bike racks, telephone posts, garbage, and so on. Your family photographer should pay attention to the background so the focus stays on your family. You want pretty flowers, nice trees, or an urban background for a chic look. Nothing distracting!
