5 Reasons for hiring a pro photographer

Of course we have phones that take photos and those phones are with us all the time. Even so, benefits of hiring a professional photographer remain. My 5 reasons for hiring a professional photographer for your next event, family gathering, special occasion or portraits only scratch the surface of the many aesthetic, practical and life-long benefits a professional photographer. We can transform a candid moment into a beautiful life-long keepsake and memory.

1. You are in the photos.

When you’re busy taking photos at events, you don’t have photographs of YOU! You want beautiful photographs of yourself with family and friends as well. A dedicated professional photographer is focused solely on capturing beautiful photographs, leaving you free to enjoy your event, focus on your guests, and enjoy yourself.  The photographer’s job is to make sure everyone looks good and the photographs reflect the feelings and mood.

2. More than snapshots.

Our phones have cameras. We take pictures all the time. It’s amazing technology that enables us to quickly and conveniently capture events in our lives. Sometimes, though, we want images to inspire us or express our feelings for one another, or remember a particular moment or human connection. Yes, capturing every moment can be useful, and sometimes we also want beautiful photos that we can look back on years later, that bring a smile or a tear, remind us of our feelings for people or places. Photographs can move beyond snapshots to inspire us with beauty and feelings, which is what a professional photographer can add.

3. Visual communication.

You won’t get just whatever shot happens to be taken. The photographer’s job is to compose the image well, use natural or artificial lighting properly and attractively, see poses and capture them, see how the setting and subject relate to one another, transform a candid moment into a beautiful, lasting memory. They will deliver the shots you need and value. A memorable image does more than present a likeness of people, objects, or places. You’ll have a photograph that can conjures feelings and memories for years to come. A professional photographer uses their expertise in visual communication to express moods or feelings that stay with you, transforming a candidate moment into meaningful human connections.

4. Equipment and tools for the job.

The photographer has the equipment: camera, lenses, lighting, reflectors, editing apps, and so forth, to create the photographs you’re envisioning with the quality you expect. Photography includes the day-of activities of shooting, lighting, framing, posing, and set-up. It also includes post-production work: selecting the best photos, editing, polishing, and processing.

5. Making you happy.

A professional photographer is invested in your satisfaction. They are trained. They have honed, their lighting, shooting and editing skills. They understand your deadlines, the goals and outcomes you have, and work with you to ensure you are satisfied with quality of the photographs you receive and the quality of the entire shooting experience.  Key goals are making sure clients, like you, are happy and thrilled with the results!
