In search of a Professional Dallas Wedding, Maternity, Newborn, Cake Smash, Family Photographer in Dallas, all you have to do is Google in your keywords and you’ll find an endless amount of photographers to choose from. How would you know which one is right for you? Most people tend to shop by price, which is completely understandable.
With Professional Dallas Maternity, Newborn, Cake Smash and Family Photography, Lily Hayes Photography and all genres of photography, let’s just say you get what you pay for. If you’re willing to expand your budget a bit, you’ll factor out all the inexperienced and untrained photographers out there. Dallas Photographers who take pictures with a consumer level camera on auto mode and send over a hundred photos that are either poorly edited or individuals not looking comfortable at all. Perhaps because the photographer didn’t take the necessary time and effort to carefully pose. Something that’s very important and quite crucial in the process of creating works of art. I don’t know about you but for this once in a lifetime experience, I would rather pay a bit more for clean, crisp, sweet photos of love ones of mine posed beautifully and comfortably. For the reason and many more, it’s very important to hire a professional.
In my 8 years in business, I have photographed hundreds of clients. I have taken posing and safety workshops. I’ve had three babies of my own! ♥
Let’s not forget to talk about, insurance; yes, I’m fully insured! Although reasonable DSLR cameras are easily accessible to consumers, what matters most is the skill it takes to manually and creatively use that equipment. I have personally invested over $40k in camera, lenses, studio lighting, computers, latest editing software, management systems. Over 20K in quality Maternity, Newborn and Cake Smash Photography props; couture gowns, jewelry, backdrops, floors, outfits, headbands, hats, wood props, blankets, wraps to name a few but that’s just the expense of want it takes to produce an image, it does not include my CODB; taxes, licenses, memberships, subscriptions, fees, marketing..etc. It’s an investment I have made and will continue to make into my business.
Most importantly and above all else, a commitment I make to every single client of mine that I will produce the best possible photographs. In this digital age, clients love having their photographs in digital format. You’ll notice not many photographers sell their digitals, let alone the entire gallery and when they do, you’ll notice that they are priced a lot higher than fine art prints. Reason being, digital files are amongst the highest priced items to photographers, because once I give you the files, I lose any future sale from your session. For this reason, I need to ensure a reasonable profit is made. You’ll be making a quality investment in something that’s worth the effort, time, and money for that reason most clients tend to book months in advance to help save for their custom Maternity, Newborn, Cake Smash and Family Photography session.
