Why a Professional Photographer?

When choosing a photographer, always consider the quality of the portraits and the time your photographer invests in you and your family. Attention to detail and creativity is vital in any photography session. If your photographer recycles the same poses or does not provide you with the personal dedication and time your portrait deserves, then you are not working with an artist. An artist knows how to use his tools properly with every client in any location. And whether it is in the portrait studio or at an alternate location of your choice, at Portraits by Steven your memories will be captured by a photographer whose sole focus is to create timeless art that you and your family will treasure.  

Individuals entering into photography as a hobby may have lower prices, but the smaller expenses reflect the quality of the portraits as well as the lack of customer service.  Many of these hobbyist offer only paper prints or disks containing your images.  A professional photographer’s prices, however, typically include costs for many outside expenses, but also for his vast knowledge and experience and are a wise investment when considering a photographer.  Never settle for poor service or a lack of variety in products for your family portraits.
