All tips : Life talk : Choosing a portrait photographer
Choosing a portrait photographer
by Nancy and Betsy
Take advantage of your ripe, pregnant silhouette and create a special memory for your loved one: a professional pregnancy portrait signed with love from you and baby-to-be.
Where do you start? We caught up with Sandra Coan, a Seattle photographer specializing in black and white pregnancy photography [www.SandraCoan.com], for some tips on choosing the right photographer.
Find a pro who makes you feel comfortable. "Most pregnancy portraits are nude or semi-nude. Feeling uncomfortable with your photographer could result in awkward portraits."
Always ask to see portfolios. "Make sure that her style matches your own. You should also ask what a typical session entails. Every photographer is different in this respect. Some will have you come to their studios; others will come to your home. Think about what will make you most comfortable."
How long will your session last? "Each photographer will differ on the amount of time a portrait session will take. Your photo session should be a quiet, relaxed time that allows you to reflect on your pregnancy."
Don't forget to ask about... "Pricing! And what the prices include. Above all, don't be afraid to communicate what you want. Be specific. Your photographer will appreciate your suggestions, and you will end up with better portraits."
