Is your photographer a professional photographer? Patty Hill Photography I Maryland Professional Photographer

In the digital age, where anyone with an iPhone and a Facebook page can market himself or herself as a photographer, it’s difficult to trust someone to capture your memories. After all, those precious moments disappear in a flash.

Before you hire a photographer, professionals recommend you develop a good working relationship with that person by learning as much as possible about their experience, equipment, company policies, certifications and professional affiliations.

Some suggestions when interviewing your photographer:

Examine backup equipment

“Backup equipment can tell you who is an amateur or professional photographer,”  “There’s always a situation where the camera or flash might stop working.”  Professional photographers always travel with at least 2-3 camera bodies for all shoots.

Know the experience level

You should find out how a photographer got started, did the go to college for photography, how long they’ve been in business and how many shoots they’ve done, adding that the more experience a photographer has, the better he or she will be able to adapt to different weather and lighting conditions.

Look for career development

Being a member of nonprofit organization Professional Photographers of America shows a level of commitment to grow a photography business and keep skills current.

The organization also certifies photographers, which involves submitting photos and taking a written test. “It’s pretty much the difference between being an accountant and a CPA,” The PPA website allows you to search for certified photographers and members of PPA.

Pay for professionalism

Professionals are in the price range of $125 for a one-hour session in studio and $195 for a 1.5-hour session in studio or on location.  The range for family portrait sessions usually range $250 to $400.  Some professional photographers charge a Sitting fee which  range in the $125 – $200. If the photographer charges by the hour you can expect an hourly rate of about $200 per hour

Before you hire your photographer you should definitely shop around, make sure the photographer you hire has the skills you’re seeking and produces quality work. “There is a price to be paid for a professional, and I think it’s worth it,”

Stay protected

Professionals strongly recommend you confirm your photographer is properly insured. Most carry general liability insurance for their consumers’ protection, as well as their own. For instance, it covers the cost if someone gets hurt or property is damaged during a shoot.

They also carry equipment insurance.
