Choose the Right Photographer for You

3 Simple Ways to Choose a Senior Photographer You’ll Want to Recommend to Others

Your senior year is going to be one of the most memorable times in your life and what better way to keep those memories alive than with a senior photo session. However, your experience and photos are only as good as your photographer, so you need to choose wisely.

Luckily, it’s much easier than you might think. Here are 3 simple tips that will help.

1. Homework is a Must

Yes, it can take some time but finding the right senior photographer is well worth the effort. Along with using a trustworthy search engine, you can also do some searches on social media sites such as Instagram and Pinterest – this will give you a good idea of the photographer’s capabilities. Read through any reviews that are available as these are invaluable.

2. Stick to the Pros

It might be tempting to get a friend or amateur to take your senior photos, but it’s a huge risk. You could spend weeks planning everything from your location and outfit to the props you want to use only to be left with photos you don’t want to share. When you work with a pro, you can be sure they will understand how to translate your vision into photos you love!

3. Stick to a Senior Photographer

A photographer can have many different specialties, but it’s advisable to pick a photographer that actually photographs seniors. It’s fine if they also specialize in other forms of photography, but senior photography should be one of them. These photographers know what looks good for these types of photos, ensuring you will be happy. If you will be searching on social media, start by searching for hashtags related to seniors to help narrow down your search. 

There you have it, you’re now ready to start your search. We hope you will consider Exit 57 Studios for your senior portraits.  We can't wait to meet you!
