Take a Survey
This may seem like an odd tip, but the point is to look for photographers who want to know about YOU. Some may give you an actual survey to fill out, others may simply ask questions about your likes and dislikes. Their goal is the same, though: to make your photos reflect you.
For example, one photographic team has a survey for their senior clients to complete before their sessions. Once they have a sense of who you are, they adapt your photo session accordingly (like playing your favorite music). And while Beth Forester, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, of Forester Photography in Madison, W.Va doesn’t have her senior clients fill out a survey, she does ask questions…questions you may not expect. “If I’m thinking about doing a barefoot picture, I always ask, ‘Do you like your feet or not?’ If you don’t like your feet, that’s all you will focus on when you see the picture,” notes Beth.
When you book a Session at Timber Creek Photography we ask you all sorts of questions about you and what you desire from your session. Be prepared to answer questions about the sports you play, whether you are a country or city person, and what type of "feel" you want from your session (fashion, sweet, edgy...). These kinds of questions show that the photographer really cares about what you want, and that care will show in your senior pictures.
In addition, be prepared to ask questions of us! A Senior once apologized five times during a phone conversation for asking "too many questions." There is no such thing as too many questions. How will you be comfortable with us if you do not have the answers you need?
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more steps on Hunting for your Senior Photographer!!!
