Are you a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA)?

You want to ensure your family photographer is a professional and is a part of an industry organization. PPA photographers will work to ensure you receive the best artistry and ensure your family's unique personality is photographed.

What's included in the session or retainer fee?

What are you getting for the money is one of the most important questions to ask your photographer. How much time will your photographer work with you and your family? Will you receive digital images with the retainer fee or other products.

Is your family photographer online?

Professional family photographers will have their own websites and do not rely soley on social media platforms. Photographers want to present their best work; and their website is the first place to look.
