The senior booking season has officially begun! In honor of a new graduating class, I wanted to create a super simple and easy question checklist for all of you soon-to-be seniors to ask before officially hiring your senior photographer. All seniors deserve to have their senior photo session to be a memorable and fun experience. The photography world is a very saturated industry, with lots of people claiming to be “photographers,” who could end up giving you a poor experience. We don’t want that. I hope these questions come in handy for you as you start the senior photographer search.
- How Long Have You Been Specializing In Senior Photography?
Your senior year happens only once and you deserve an experienced photographer that specializes in photographing seniors and understands how to make this day special for you as well as create images you love and want to share with your family and friends. A senior photographer has not only put in many hours perfecting their craft, editing style, and processes, but also has spent many hours working on perfecting their posing and lighting specifically for senior clients.
- How many outfit changes do you get with your session package?
Some photographers limit the number of outfits, which could be a deciding factor in who you hire.
- How many locations do we get with your session package?
If variety in your photos is important to you, this is a must-ask question.
- Do You Offer Professional Hair and Makeup Options?
Senior portraits should be a fun and stress free experience that is just as exciting as prom or homecoming and even your wedding day. Do you prefer a natural look or a full glam look? Do you feel more confident and relaxed when you do your own hair and makeup or being pampered by a professional hair and makeup artist? If pro hair and makeup is right for you can the photography studio offer a professional makeup artist that understands camera ready makeup and will work with you to create your unique look?
- Can we order prints and albums directly from you?
Find out how the photographer handles tangible products such as prints, albums, and digitals. Do you have to print through a third party, or can you order with the photographers professional lab?
No matter who you choose as your senior photographer, I want you to look your best.
