You only need to type "family photography surrey" into google to see that there are literally hundreds of family photographers to choose from in Surrey alone.
Here are some of the things you may be thinking about when planning your family photo shoot:
1) Studio or Outdoor Do you like studio photography or do you prefer natural surroundings? We are fortunate in Surrey to have lots of beautiful outside spaces, which make great locations for family photo shoots.
2) Style Do you like a traditional or contemporary style? Look at examples on photographer's websites and shortlist the names whose work you like.
3) Budget What is your budget? Assume you will like the photos and will naturally want to have some (or all) of them to keep. Compare prices of photographers that you like.
4) Finished Products What do you want to have at the end of the shoot a single, large framed print on the wall, a variety of framed prints (storyboard), the digital images to share with family and friends?
Once you have found several photographers whose work you like, it would be a good idea to get in touch with them to clarify any questions that you have. For example:
Session Fees be aware that very low or free session fees could mean higher product prices
Product Prices are these available on the website? If not, clarify. Be wary of "prices start from x". It might be a good idea to think about what you will likely want and check that price specifically, for example, a 20x16inch frame.
Digital images if these are available, does that include printing rights, are the images high resolution?
Availability some photographers may be booked in advance, so have some dates in mind
Clothing ask your photographer if they have any advice on what you should wear for the shoot. I usually advise comfort, something that you like, plain over patterned, cute accessories for children such as hats and being aware that bold logos and fashion fads will date more quickly.
Products clarify how long it takes for products to be ready, particularly if you have a deadline such as a birthday present in mind.
Specifics if you have any other questions on your mind, just ask for advice. For example, sometimes I am asked if the family dog can be involved or I am told that one child in particular is very camera shy. Any information like that is useful.
