 2.  LOCATION:

Would you like to have the portraits taken in the comfort of your own home, your yard, or your favorite park? Many studios are reluctant to do location portraits, because it’s too much work for them. Would you like your portrait to have the look of a traditional portrait in the studio or perhaps like many of my clients, they prefer an “environmental” portrait  somewhere special in their home.  “Little People” are especially more relaxed in their own environment.

 3.  EXPERIENCE:

Choose a photographer who has experience in location portraiture. It should be . someone who has created many portraits in a variety of locations with unique areas and lighting situations. Its hard to believe that I did over 15,000 location sessions before the Traveling Photographer came into being.

 4.  TIME:

Many studios, especially in stores and at the mall need to rush people in and rush people out to keep busy and cover their expensive overhead.  I will spend whatever time it takes with you and your family to create the most beautiful, cherished portraits. You want to feel relaxed and avoid the stress of time pressure during your session.

5.   FLEXIBILITY:

Choose a photographer who is willing to listen to your wants and needs.  Is your photographer willing to follow a particular style of photography that you’ve seen?   Do you like formal posing or a more casual look? Would you like to be photographed using one of the several backgounds that are always available or would you enjoy an outdoor setting?

6.   PLANNING

Careful planning ahead of time will result in a precious portrait for you to treasure forever. Proper color themes can turn a “nice portrait” into a “beautiful portrait.” Did you know that wearing the wrong clothing can add 50 pounds to the way you look in a photograph? The clothing you wear, the time of day of your session, hair style and complimentary props all need to be considered when we design your photographs. I’ve got a Free Brochure to help you plan your session.

 7.  PROFESSIONALISM

You want to have a photographer who will arrive on time., professionally dressed and prepared to set up.  Your photographer should know how to handle babies and children as well as certain “challenging” personalities. Has your photographer learned lighting and posing techniques?  Will your photographer create an enjoyable atmosphere to help set the correct mood to capture your precious memories?
