Santa Is Coming To Orange County Photographers Studio November 15 & 22

With the holidays now just a mere 5 weeks away it's a great time to begin considering having holiday photos taken by an Orange County photographer.  Holiday photos and cards make great keepsakes and can be sent out to relatives whom are unable to attend family holiday gatherings because they live to far away.  Most photographers offer something special for holiday photo shoots but they generally fill their calendars quickly.  For this reason alone it's wise to book a session as far in advance as possible.

Advance booking will secure a photo session with an Orange County photographer and in some cases will get you great deals on holiday photo packages as well.  At Treasured Moments Photography this is definitely the case as owner Carol Bridges has put together a special holiday package with few extra perks that the entire family will love. The holiday special includes a photo shoot with a sitting fee of just $39.00 and 15% off all prints ordered, a real deal indeed.  Additionally and perhaps most importantly Treasured Moments Photography will have Santa Claus visiting the studio on November 15th and 22nd making it a great time to bring the kids not only for a photo shoot with jolly ol' St. Nick but for a visit with father Christmas himself.  This will also put everyone in a great mood which makes for great pictures!

Those who do book in advanced with Treasured Moments Photography will receive their holiday photos and cards by December 5th ensuring that you have time to send them out to loved ones.  These Orange County photographers also invite family pets to the holiday photo shoot as they're often considered part of the family.  If you'd like to take advantage of Carol's holiday offer act fast as her holiday schedule fills up rather quickly.  You may contact her to schedule a shoot, alternatively you may visit her Orange County photography website for additional details.

Choosing A Great Photographer

Orange County photographers are a dime a dozen these days and each and everyone one of them attempts to outdo their competitors by offering specials on photo packages, pricing, and location shoots. This can make choosing a photographer somewhat difficult when the time comes for family portraits, senior photographs, child photography and even pet photography. The old saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies to the world of photography though it's not always cost that determines what type of images you ultimately end up with. There are a number of things you as the consumer can do to identify great photographers and to determine if a particular photographer is right for you. Remembering these things when looking for a suitable photographer will help you find the right one.

Packages Available - The first thing people might take notice of is just how expensive or inexpensive a particular photographers packages are. While price plays a part in determining whether or not you hire a photographer there's more to focus on here than the actual pricing. When you're reviewing photo packages it's important to find out whether or not a photographer is willing to be flexible with their packages. Most successful Orange County photographers allow their clients to add to as well as omit portions of their packages so that they not only get exactly what they want but can afford what they're getting as well. Hiring a photographer who doesn't allow customization of their packages often means you'll miss out on an opportunity to get the pictures you want.



Portfolio - Asking for samples of a photographers work should be a no brainer but believe it or not there are those out there that hire people without ever having sampled their work. A photographers portfolio tell you everything you to need to know about their style, experience, and overall ability. Looking through their portfolio might also yield pictures that you like in terms of location, lighting, etc. You can then express interest in that particular type of image and ask that the photographer replicate that style for your images.

Options - There are many photographers who do nothing more than snap simple images be there family portraits or photographs of individuals. Even if a photographer happens to be exceptionally talented at what he/she does, with very limited or no options available you'll wind up with that photographers vision of your photographs. This is why it's important to ask every photographer what options they offer. Be sure and find out if a photographer offers different background options, filter options, and even location shoots. Simple questions like these can ensure that you get the photographer and images you want.

If you ask every photographer you interview with these questions chances are you're going to find one that fits your photography as well as your budgetary needs. You'll also find that you'll be much more satisfied with the quality of your photographs in the end which is important because photographs are usually considered family keepsakes by those that have them taken. Taking your time and doing thorough research on photographers will give you the photographer you've been looking for.
