If you are scheduling your your first ever family photo session or simply want to add an updated family photo to a photo album, making the right decision where the photographer is concerned, can make all the difference between how some of those memories will be recorded. But with lots of photographers floating around, how do you know who is going to be the best fit for your family?

At Precious Little Ones Photography, we know how unique and intimate family photography is. Every household is unique — everyone has their own dynamic, characters and small victories to celebrate. Which is why picking a photographer who is not only good with technical tricks, but also has a gentle, miranda july-like way with clients can be the difference between one of the best decisions you’ve ever made and your fifth top five pick from the knot.

If you’re looking for a Family Photographer in Altrincham then you’ll need someone who isn’t only going to point a camera in the right direction, but someone who is going to make sure that your children engage with them, who engages with you as a parent and who creates an atmosphere that is at ease and enjoyable for everyone. Family photo sessions should not be stressful; they should be enjoyable, creative, and organic! What a good photographer can do is evoke real smiles, laughter, and moments of connection.

Location is another important consideration for planning your session. Are you inspired by outdoor shoots in nearby parks, cozy in-home sessions, or studio-style setups? If you live somewhere near Greater Manchester, you won’t run short of photogenic backdrops. Whether you have traditional family portaits in Manchester or candid lifestyle images in your backyard we will help you decide on a location that best suits your family's style.

Also, experience and portfolio are important factor. Before you book, be sure to take a look at the photographer’s previous work. Is there a “style” that tends to go with them? Do you sense emotion and connection in their photos? Here at Precious Little Ones Photography we know how to make photos of your family that stand the test of time & feel real, not like something from a catalog or a pose book. We strive to capture the true soul of your family with every picture.

And don’t be afraid to ask questions or request a consultation call. This also offers you the opportunity to share what it is that you want, hear about the photographer’s style and to make sure that your visions match. A good photographer always does and will gladly answer your questions and provide an educative guide for the process if necessary.

At the end of the day, the right fit with your photographer and being able to trust them is what’s most important. You’re inviting someone into your world to bottle your some of your most precious moments — so it’s worth taking the time to find the right fit.
