Why You Should Keep Your Photographer for Big Life Events
If you are an OG follower of this blog, you may remember this family. They lived in a small apartment in San Francisco with a golden-doodle and brand new baby. Well, fast forward to this year and they are at it again. They brought home a brand new baby earlier this year and they again chose me to document it. Now, I'm not going to lie, photographers obviously want repeat families, but truly, there are so many reasons why you should choose the same photographer for multiple shoots.
Style- Trends come and go. Some photographers are more classic than others, but in general, a photographer will stick to a similar style, whether that be lifestyle or documentary or completely posed.
Editing- Most photographers stay consistent in their editing. My editing, for example, is clean and bright and airy. Some people have really warm edits, high contrast or dark and moody.
Prints and Albums- When you print your photos (which you all do, right?), you want to be able to make a gallery wall with them or print an album. When you use the same photographer, their work is all consistent. I've used the same photographer for five years and every picture in our house looks like it goes with every other picture even though they were taken years apart.
Comfort- When you let someone in for big life events, you get to know them. They are there when you are at your most vulnerable. They celebrate new life with you and mourn sleep. It's an intimate relationship, and it's something that is so special and hard to recreate time and time again.
