Questions for your Event Photographer | Houston Event Photography

Questions for your Event Photographer

Planning a major event is a lot of work!  When the event arrives, you want to enjoy the event and not worry about taking pictures.  Enjoy your guests and the event that you’ve worked so hard to create!  Hire a professional photographer to capture all of the tiny details, the laughter, the emotion, and the connections.  Choosing the right photographer is simply a matter of asking the right questions.  So what are those questions for your event photographer?

  1. How long has the photographer been in business?  And are they operating a legitimate business with a sales tax ID, etc.?  Having experience with event photography and owning a legitimate business are important factors in this decision.
  2. What credentials does the photographer have?  Do they belong to any professional associations like the Professional Photographers of America (PPA)?  What degrees do they have relating to photography?  Photographers who are members of professional organizations typically have a code of ethics and standards to follow as professionals.
  3. Does the photographer have backup equipment? Backup equipment is a must!!
  4. Will the photographer that owns the business be photographing the event or will it be an associate?  It is important to know the photographer and their representative work that you’re hiring.
  5. What is the turnaround time for delivery of images?  It’s best to know and set expectations before the event.
  6. Are the images edited or retouched?  Again, set expectations since each photographer has his or her own process for events.  You don’t want to find out after the event that editing is an extra fee.

Event Photography for the NAM Gala

I have photographed the Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) Gala for the past couple of years.  NAM provides many different services for the Spring, TX community for those needing assistance.  They provide food, shelter, education, health care services, day care services, and much more.  I have worked with NAM on many projects over the years and I’m so grateful for the services that they provide.  I was particularly moved this year during the gala when everyone paused for a moment to make donations for the Meals on Wheels program.  There are people on the waiting list for this service who do not have enough food.  Just the memory of watching the donations flood in brings tears to my eyes!  NAM is all about neighbors helping neighbors and that’s exactly what they did!

Just a little reminder that if your professional headshot has been sitting on your to-do list for the last six months (or six years 😅), I`m here when you`re ready!

Whether you`re updating your LinkedIn, stepping into a new role, refreshing your website, or just realizing that your current headshot doesn`t quite look like you anymore, having a professional photo you`re confident sharing makes a difference.

And if the thought of getting in front of the camera makes you a little nervous, don`t worry. You don`t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to find your best angle.

That`s what I`m here for! I`ll guide you through the whole process so you walk away with photos that feel natural, professional, and most importantly, like you.

📸 Ready to finally check those headshots off your list? Head to the link in my bio to book your session!

Well, since I`m already here… we might as well get those family photos on the calendar! 😂📸

I know how it goes. You keep saying you need to update your family portraits, but between school, work, sports, and everything else on your calendar, another year somehow slips by.

And suddenly, the kids are a little taller, everyone`s a little older, and you`re still looking at the same family photo from three years ago.

Here`s your reminder that family photos don`t have to be complicated or perfectly planned.

I`ll help you choose a location, coordinate outfits, and guide you through the session. And yes, we`ll get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos, but we`ll also capture the laughs, the cuddles, the silly moments, and all the little things that make your family YOUR family. 🤍

🍂 Still hoping to get family photos done this fall? I have a few weekend openings left, and I`d love to get your family in front of my camera before the season wraps up!

Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session. Let`s make those family photos you`ve been talking about actually happen! 😉

Meet Noah... 👇🏻

Noah recently came in for a personal branding session, but not because he`s launching a business or promoting a service.

He`s written a memoir! 📖

He wanted a collection of professional images he could use on his website to promote his book, with the possibility of using a few for his author portrait inside the book or on the back cover.

And this is such a great example of why personal branding photography isn`t just for business owners!

Authors, speakers, artists, coaches, and creatives can all benefit from having a professional collection of images that represents who they are and what they`re working toward.

Think about it... one branding session can give you photos for your website, social media, promotional materials, press features, professional bios, and so much more.

It`s about having a variety of images that tell your story, help people connect with you, and give you the flexibility to show up professionally wherever your work takes you.

And that`s exactly what we wanted to create for Noah!

Whether you`re writing a book, launching a new project, or building a business, I`d love to help you create images that support your next chapter.
