If you’re like me, you’ve used a lot of different photographers. Different locations, different backgrounds, and different holidays. It makes sense that you would want to shop around for what feels the most like your family. You’re looking for a person who understands you and what you’re looking for from your photos.

But, make sure you settle on one eventually. Having a single family photographer for all your future sessions is the best way to ensure your photos have not only consistency but you also get better photos over time. We know we can’t expect our kids to come into the strange environment of a photography studio and be immediately comfortable. We teach them about stranger danger for a reason! By picking one family photographer your kids start to feel more comfortable with them and their studio environment. So over multiple sessions, your kids will want to smile more and feel more comfortable being themselves for the camera!

Your walls will also thank you for the consistency! All of your frames will have a similar style so no more chaos on the walls! Save that for all the kid’s drawings you’ll be hanging up around them! Plus, consistency on the walls means consistency in your albums! Now when you flip through your beautiful books they’ll flow like you imagined they would! Lighting, outfits, and backgrounds are all curated perfectly and now get to flow with your home over time.

Overall, your family photographer will know you! The trust built there will be paramount to creating a beautiful work of art for your family every year that you’ll treasure always!
