5 Life Events Worthy Of A Professional Photographer
With the availability of cameras in everyone’s pocket, many people wonder if professional photography is still a necessary service. The answer to this question is a resounding yes. Although there’s nothing wrong with using your smartphone to snap a photo of Friday night’s pizza, there are many milestones in your life that you want to preserve and present in the best way possible.
Selling A Home
Great real estate photos have always been important in the selling and buying process. But today, in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, they are more important than ever. Buyers today tend to prefer 3D walk-throughs, virtual open houses, video tours, and photos of every nook and cranny. Ideal Property Images offers three packages plus custom photography services, including aerial drone photos and realistic enhancement to ensure your property gets the most attention.
Getting Married
Ideally, we only get married once. The process is long, and often involves weeks to years of planning, thousands of dollars in clothing, and a beautifully decorated venue. You want the day that you become one with your best friend to be forever etched into your memory. Celebrate this moment every day by hiring a professional photographer, which, according to Brides, may set you back $1,000 up to $10,000 or more. Why so pricey? You are paying for time, training, gear, retouching, and your photographer’s experience framing the perfect shot so that you have more than fuzzy phone photos to look back on.
Baby’s Birth
The arrival of a new family member should absolutely warrant professional newborn photos. Babies grow quickly and can gain up to 24 pounds and grow more than a foot in their first year alone. Capture the moments that they are small enough to fit in your arms while you can. Need more reasons why you should invest in professional infant photography?

Family Reunion
Family reunions are special events that give you an opportunity for generations to connect and to honor those who came before you. They are also an excellent time to bring in an event photographer to help capture every moment. It is especially important if you have multiple generations and are introducing a new baby to great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents for the first time. There’s a good chance that these elders may not get a chance to see your infant grow up, but you want your little one to know how much they were loved.
Starting A Business
All new businesses have a market they must compete with. Because of this, you need to bring as much attention to yours as possible. Part of your marketing strategy must also include images of your company, your team, and your products. A great headshot will also go a long way toward conveying your professionalism, according to PR company Marshall Communications.
How To Choose A Photographer
When choosing a photographer for your event, start by looking at their portfolio. Many photographers specialize in one area, such as senior portraits or weddings, but they might not be quite as capable with spontaneous event shots or with newborns. Next, ask about availability and whether or not you will be requested to sign a contract. If they say no, it’s time to find another photographer as you have no agreement that they will show up when they are needed. It’s almost impossible to find a good photographer at the last minute, so having the extra assurance is critical.
You don’t necessarily need a photographer for every birthday party or back-to-school bus ride. But, there are certain events where it makes sense to splurge. Years from now, you will look back and be grateful that you did.
