Hey there, welcome back to Through the Lens Caballero Photos Blog!
Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between people and life.
When I first decided to leave my corporate job to pursue photographer, I had friends and family worried. Even though most were super happy for this new journey, I got asked repeatedly a similar question, do you think it'll be profitable?
It's so easy to say YES! And it's even easier to undercharge to make a quick sale. However, I knew that in order for my business to make a profit, a livable one, and to not burn myself out after the first year I needed to create a business plan. My focus when starting photography was to grow as a business, so from the start I knew I needed to research and niche down.
My passion quickly found itself in family portraits! So, the next question came into play...Why is a family photographer worth the investment? Now every person has a camera phone, they can stop and capture moments in time without the extra money being spent. So why should I keep focusing on family photos? Here are 5 reasons I believe you should hire a family photographer:
Picture this:
It’s a beautiful Sunday evening. You’re at the park, kids are running around, laughter fills the air, and your dog is enthusiastically joining the chaos. Amidst all this joy, who’s capturing these precious moments? Enter, the family photographer—your memory-keeper and happiness-preserver.
1. The Gift of Timeless Memories
Imagine flipping through an album years from now and instantly being transported back to those moments. A family photographer captures not just images but the essence of your family's unique story, preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
Often times people categorize purchases by intangible and tangible. It’s easy to justify a purchase that you can hold every day, use around the house or makes your travel easier. Photographs are an item that you don’t use every day. They are a mixture of both tangible and intangible - they get placed up as decor or input into a scrapbook and not messed with daily. However, as children grow and family dynamics changes a family photographer has a crucial role in capturing and persevering precious moments for families. Family photographers have the skills and expertise to create beautiful and meaningful photos that tell your family story!
2.Stressfree Experience
Trying to get everyone to sit still and smile at the same time? That’s a job for a superhero, or better yet, a professional photographer! They know how to wrangle kids, make adults laugh, and even get the family pet to pose. You can relax and enjoy the session while they work their magic. A key value of a family photographer is their ability to create a comfortable and relaxed environment during the photo session. We understand the dynamics of a family and know how to make everyone feel at ease, resulting in natural and authentic photos. This not only gives beautiful photos it creates a moment for your family to enjoy together. The connection that a family photographer helps bring out into the moment will showcase children in their element and their raw self.
3. Creative Vision

A family photographer has the technical knowledge to produce high-quality images. They have professional-grade equipment and editing skills to enhance the photos and make them visually stunning. This ensures that the final photographs are of the highest standard and can be proudly displayed in albums or as wall art.
A great family photographer will take the time to get to know your family’s personalities and dynamics. They tailor the session to reflect your unique style, whether you’re a fun-loving bunch who loves outdoor adventures or a cozy crew who prefers homey vibes.
