Style & Budget to Fit Your Family’s Needs

When it comes to choosing a family beach photographer, there are a ton of great choices! Make sure they match your style and your budget. Photographers editing styles can vary a great deal, just as much as the style in which they shoot. Look through multiple portfolios to see what types catch your eye! Do you like more natural, lifestyle photo shoots or are you looking for more of a posed family photo session? Do your research, and choose what’s best for you. If you gravitate toward lifestyle family photos, then search that specific area for that term.

Check The Local Facebook Groups Where You Are Vacationing

Ask local Facebook groups. Getting a word-of-mouth referral from someone like you who has used the family beach photographer beforehand. The other benefit to social media groups is that you can more privately ask for specific feedback about other people’s experiences.

Read Photographer’s Reviews

Read their reviews on Google or Facebook for any photographer you’re considering! Get first-hand advice from those who have worked with that photographer. Did the kids have fun with them? Did this person LOVE their photos? Look for multiple people using strong positive language about the photographer – and if you’ve ever had a great experience with a photographer, go leave them a nice review…even if a few years late, it will totally make their day!
