4 Things You Can Request from a Dallas Family Photographer. Preparing for a Dallas family photo shoot and still undecided on the photographer? Once you have made the decision, remember that these are the things you can always ask your photographer:
A Quote For A Family Photo Session in Dallas
We cannot emphasize this enough: always ask for a quote. You will find that photo shoots come in packages. For a certain number of photos, we charge a certain sum of money. The fee varies in accordance with the number of photos or videos you want. Don’t go to photographers expecting an endless stream of photos. Always browse through their packages, or ask for a quote for anything specific you have in mind. These practices will help you finalize the budget in an organized manner.
Consultation
Always know that consultation is never out of the question. You can—in fact, you must—consult with your photographer before the shoot. Have them called in or just get in touch with them over email. Or give them a call. Whatever your choice of communication, your job is to get them on board. If you have something specific in mind, spell it out for them in clear instructions. You can’t expect your photographer to know what you want instinctively—we don’t know what’s going on in your heads.
What’s more is that when you consult with us, we are at liberty to tell you why your ideas will or will not work. We even make suggestions to make it all the better.
Unedited Photos
This one is for after the event. As photographers, we take a lot of photos. It is from these photos, then, that we choose what we believe are the best picks. The best picks are then edited, and the pool is further thinned. What you get is the final, carefully selected, curated, and edited group of photographs that we think are the best. But we do also have several other photos, which you can request for. You may want to keep those for safe-keeping.
A Portfolio
Many clients request to look at our previous work before they make the decision to go along with us—and we completely understand. In fact, we at Lily Hayes Photography maintain portfolios—for photos as well as videos—for exactly this purpose. You can find some bits online and go through them. If you’re looking for something more specific before making your decision, all you have to do is reach out to us and ask. We’ll get back to you with samples, and you will then have all you need to make the final decision.
