Why you should hire a professional photographer for senior portraits
Don’t Dare DIY your senior pictures! 🙂
High school graduation is a proud moment for not only your senior but the entire family. After all, it’s an important milestone that will never come again. Senior portraits commemorate this time in your son or daughter’s life and will be cherished for years to come. It most likely be the last photos before they get married.
Here are my top reasons to use a pro for your senior portrait session.
- Camera Knowledge: A good photographer knows how to make a person look their best with lens choice. Each lens has different characteristics and a professional will know which one to use. Using the wrong lens can result in distortion, image blur from movement or just out of focus images.
- Providing a memorable experience: Face it, not everyone is comfortable getting their portrait taken. A professional photographer delivers more than just great portraits. They will create an all-around unforgettable experience, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free – even for those who are camera shy. They take the time to get to know the senior so they can get images that reflect who they are at this time of their life. This is a special time in your teen’s life, and you want them to have great memories about the whole process from prepping for the session through the photo session itself – all the way until receiving the final photographs.
- Posing: Professional photographers know how to pose you to flatter your body type. It’s our job to know what angles look best and how to pose you so that you look amazing. Professional senior photographers also know how to get those awesome candid shots of you that really show off the real YOU.
- Lighting: We know the best lighting needed to ensure the best photographs. Sometimes it requires bring and using out own lighting to get the best images. But we do what it takes to get THE BEST images of you!
What ever you do, don’t DIY them! Splurge and celebrate this time of life. Having heirloom products like albums & wall portraits are something you will cherish for years to come, even with their kids someday!
