Have you ever been to a frame shop for custom framing? Or consulted with an architect for a dream kitchen? You had the choice of picking up an off-the-shelf frame or shopping at IKEA. But you went ahead and spent more of your hard earned money since you wanted something special.
The process of going for professional portrait photography is similar. It is expensive. It is not for everyone or for every occasion. You have the choice of asking a favor from a friend or getting service from a department store. This will be free or cost you next to nothing. Compared to that professional portrait photography is a luxury. And it requires an investment in time and commitment on your part to work as a team with the photographer – to choose location, time, dress and every other detail. In return you can expect to get 1-one-1 attention from a qualified photographer who is focused on you and not thinking about the next sale.
The professional portrait photographer is there to help you define the way you want to be seen as – whether you are a loving parent or a budding sports talent or a fantastic cook. At any location of your choice. When hiring a custom photographer you will know someone will care about your special moments so much that she will go the extra mile to ensure what you receive is good enough to stand by with her name on it. You will not find that level of commitment in a photo studio in a department store. The store really wants you to buy the other merchandise. The studio is a side show that the store can afford to discount since the profits will be from other sales. Movie theatres make more profit from soda and popcorn than from movie tickets.
Custom professional portrait photography is a unique experience. Wouldn’t it be great to let a skilled professional photographer produce images that you will cherish for a lifetime?
