Hiring A Photographer; Extra Tips For You!

Here are some more tips in your journey in capturing that memorable photo. If you have any, don't hesitate to list who you think the best photographer are in the Miami Valley!

Tips for having a good photo shoot:

· Check out the photographer's previous work. Make sure his or her style fits your tastes. Most positive feedback from Angie's List members was based on their having a good rapport and personalized experience with the photographer.

· Don't wear bold patterns or stripes at the photo shoot. On prints, they take away from your features.

· If you wear glasses, you might consider temporarily removing the lenses to avoid any glare.

· Whatever you wear, make certain you are comfortable. One photographer said if you're not comfortable in what you're wearing, it will show through in the photos.

. Remember you do get what you pay for in terms of quality of both the print and the shot, and the professionalism of the photographer.

· For children, schedule the appointment based on your child's schedule so you can get photos when they are most animated, happy and relaxed.

· For children, bring your own toys… anything in the picture that will remind you about your child at that age.

· Ask about a one-time sitting fee. One Angie's List member paid a one-time sitting fee for their child, but visited the photographer regularly throughout the year. The photographer was able to capture the growth progress of the child.

. Try sticking with the same photographer or studio. They may be able to give you a price break if you are a regular customer.
