Having the right photographer during your family session is a total game changer. But there are a million photographers out there and it can feel daunting and overwhelming. How do you know which one to choose that can meet your family's needs and make you feel comfortable during your session? Here's a list of things to look for to help you make this decision if you're on the hunt for a family photographer in Batesville, Arkansas.


  1. Their style. Ask yourself these questions: Do their images speak to you? Do you like the way they edit their images? Do you like their signature style? Every photographer has their own unique editing style: dark and moody, light and airy, bold and colorful, vivid and saturated, film-like, black and white. Also, look closely at their posing. Are they more traditional in their posing or do they take a more candid approach? There are so many styles it can make your head spin. So answer these questions first to make sure you can narrow it down and find a photographer that edits their images in a way you love.
  2. Their expertise. What type of session are you wanting? Are you looking for a newborn, family, milestone, senior, or a maternity session? Most professional photographers have specific genres they specialize in. And when they are focusing on a single genre, they invest a significant amount of time honing their skills. They become the expert, resulting in images that truly capture the essence of your vision. So be on the lookout for someone who doesn't do it all, but instead has narrowed down their expertise so they can give you a more tailored, engaging, and efficient client experience.
  3. Their client experience. What do their past clients say about how they were treated, their experience throughout the whole booking process, and most importantly, how they felt during their photo session? How you are treated can make you love taking photos with your family or make you dread it and not ever want to do it again. Believe it or not, how you feel during your session, and in your photos, can determine if you like your final images or not. It's important to be comfortable with your photographer so you can enjoy the moments with your family and not feel stressed.


When it's time for updated photos, make sure to ask yourself what's important to you and why you want to capture this season of life. Having the right photographer can make your session magical and capture your family’s unique personality and moments beautifully. The right photographer will not only produce stunning images but will also create a fun and memorable experience for your family.
