The old saying “you get what you pay for” is relentlessly repeated for a reason – it’s true. Professional photographers are just that – professionals.
Consider this example: A pair of scissors at your local drugstore is just a few dollars. You can choose to cut and style your hair yourself. However, almost everyone will agree that your hair will look much better if you hire a professional stylist. This example rings true with professional photography. Consider the amount of time and effort involved in a photo shoot. It is estimated that a photographer spends six to eight hours with a client before ever snapping a picture. Besides the initial consultation to determine your goals, a photographer spends many hours preparing a shoot location, editing and cropping your images and reviewing proofs.
A quote from an article I link to below as it relates specifically to babies, “During the actual shoot, your baby photographer will know exactly how to pose your baby to get the most adorable or poignant shots. Plus, professional baby photographers and their assistants are very experienced in ensuring your baby stays comfortable and happy during the session.They often become close friends who play an integral role in documenting family history and they offer skills that non-professionals simply do not have. There is so much more to creating photographic art then pushing a camera button and sending a photo off to be printed or handing you a cd of images and expecting you to know what to do with it. Professional quality takes time and expertise. The investment is worth it when you find the right photographic artist for your family’s goals. Plus, the end result is a cherished portrait that you and your family will value for many decades, and who can put a price on family heritage?”
