So, you are looking for portraits! You have come to the right place! Choosing a photographer shouldn’t be so difficult, scroll down to find three things you should consider when booking a photographer. 

Consistency

Look for consistency when choosing your photographer. Do they have a body of work that demonstrates that they consistently take good photographs? With the quality of cameras available today, everyone can get a few great photographs, even on a phone. I mean EVERYONE. You need someone who can deliver quality work every time. A knowledgeable photographer will be able to produce good work in a short amount of time in difficult lighting situations. 
How can you tell if you are booking a photographer who will consistently deliver? I would suggest you look at their blog for a large number of photographs of ONE person. Are all of the photographs in focus? Do the photographs have consistently good color? What do the posing and backgrounds look like in the complete session? Are the photographs edited well? A great photograph can be ruined if the editing is obvious. Skin smoothing and touch ups can be over done. 

Do you they have a consistent style and do you like that style? Photographs will edit their work to taste. First, will you get the kind of images you like or will they vary wildly from client to client? A sign of a professional is a consistent look. If they are consistent, do you even like the photographs? There are many trends with photography. There are many different styles. Some photographers will edit in a light and airy style with blue tones and washed out colors and pale skin tones while other photographers will have images that have dark brown wash with absolutely no bright greens or blues. Remember that you will get those same tones if you are dealing with someone who has clearly defined their look.

I’ve been providing clients in the Spokane area with high quality portraits for over twelve years. I want my clients to have a variety of wonderful photographs to choose from! I pay attention to flattering my subject from the detailed posing instruction to the rich finished color in a natural look. I tend to stick with natural colors that accurately reflect the scene where I am shooting. I am also cautious with editing to give you flawless skin that does not look over processed. 

Connection

Making a good connection with your photographer is also important. My goal for every session, is to connect with my subject because you will see that connection in my photographs. Do the people in the photographs look like they are connecting with you the viewer? They should. Not every photograph will be smiling but you should feel a spark of connection with you look at the work. 

Managing how people feel about their time in front of the camera is my number one focus! You have my complete attention from the start to finish of your session. You should have a refreshing, fun session in front of my camera. I need to draw out the individual personality of my subject and make them feel at ease. I have been told by clients over the years that this is one of their favorite things about me! Enjoyable sessions show in the results!

Compliment

When choosing a photographer you should see the beauty of every individual. Everyone has an attractive feature. Did the photographer attempt to highlight that feature? Did the photographer work to get the best possible, most flattering version of their subject? A good photographer can work with the beautiful diversity in people and showcase the most attractive feature of every person. They should be able to compliment EVERY body size, and skin tone.
