Hiring a photographer?
- Check out their website first to see how much they charge and what their style is.
- Call/e-mail/text with your inquiries.
- Don’t be shy.
- Let them know when and where you want them to be as well as the type of occasion or what the photos will be used for.
- If you want a certain type of pose or photo let them know.
I’ve had customers send me samples of what they were looking for. - Review the written agreement.
If you need changes let the photographer know.
Most photographers use an agreement as a discussion document. - Be on time and ready.
- SMILE and Have Fun β€
- Pay your invoice in a timely manner.
- If you’re not happy with the end product talk with the photographer.
- If you are happy with the work be certain to rate the business on line and let your contacts know. π
