Senior Portrait Season: your graduation photographer
Senior portraits are a right of passage weather you are graduating high school and diving into the world of adulthood or if you are graduating college and stepping into your first career focused job. Finding the right photographer is essential to you loving the outcome of your celebratory photoshoot! Here are some tips to finding the photographer for you and your graduation photos!
Location
You may have found this blog post through searching up “graduation photographer” or adding in your location to that search! You may have just stumbled upon this because you have been searching up Grad photo outfit ideas, but the algorithm is working in your favor either way!
Finding a photographer in your area will help you save $$$! This is because most photographers have a mile radius that they are willing to travel to without charging extra for travel fees.
For example, to find me and my photogaphy services you would have to type in “Bay Area photographer” or “San Francisco Photographer” to stumble across my instagram or website!
Style
Style is another important factor to finding the photographer who will deliver images that you and your family love! A photographer’s style is everything from the way they take your photos to the way they edit them! Some ways you might describe my style is dreamy, warm, romantic, and fun! My style is considered this because I add a lot of movement, add flowers and leaves into the foreground, and edit to make your skin look golden and tan!
Price
You may or may not be concerned with pricing, but this is an important factor that may sway you, your parents, or guardians to book or not. In the Bay Area, you will find a large range of prices from $100 to over $1,000.
Typically, you can assume that the lower the price, the less experience a photographer has, but that’s not always the case, so it’s important to check out their portfolio before you make a decision.
Some photographers, like me, offer payment plans leading up to the session or even up until before you receive your photos!
Portfolio
Perhaps you have considered this, maybe you haven’t; you want to check out your potential photographers portfolio in order to determine if you like their work, if they have good work, and if you like their style. Many clients book with photographers based of the style or niche that they have!
Booking
The booking process should be easy and make sense. You may also want to consider only working with a photographer who is willing to hop on a zoom consultation.
