Why to Choose a Professional Photographer

Why should you hire Land of Wild Designs Photography to be your portrait photographer?  Lately, I have been seeing a lot of photo-shoots with someone taking Senior Portraits with a cell phone.  It is actually pretty common.  Yes, cell phones these days do capture beautiful photos, they really do - but let me take a moment of your time to explain to you why I think it is worthwhile to hire a professional photographer, and more specifically - - - me.
These photos are a rarely seen glimpse behind the scenes of one of our photo-sessions. We don't often post unedited images, but I wanted to let you know that part of the experience with a professional photographer is the final image.  The way they are in the camera isn’t always the way they end up in print.  As we move from area to area during a photo-session, the light changes, color-casts happen due to surrounding vegetation or objects, or other variables may come into play.  We are doing regular adjustments to the camera settings in the effort to get the photo as perfect as possible in camera during the photo-shoot, but occasionally, we move so fast with ideas and inspirations that we just shoot first and look second.  It is generally when we get the photos offloaded from the camera and onto the computer that we notice some of the details that need attention, such as an incorrect crop, or color balance or contrast that isn’t exactly what we want . . . so that is why every image that you get has been individually reviewed and enhanced with our professional editing software.  It is because we want the images we provide to you be end up in a frame.
Don’t get us wrong, keep taking those cell phone photos – please make sure that you document life in your own creative way, but keep us in mind for the professional portraits that will last a lifetime.  Sadly those cell phone images won’t print in the quality you hope and they end up looking so different in print than they look digitally on your device, and that can be disappointing.
Our images are individually edited, then sized specifically to be printed professionally to retain the resolution you are seeing on your computer or phone when you view your gallery.  We are selling more than just a digital image.  Land of Wild Designs provides an experience, we also provide very careful edits and we capture more than just the photo, we capture the emotion – the feeling.

With a simple crop and rotate, the photo looks completely different.  On this image, we edited the background in a different style than we edited her skin & clothing so the contrast was wonderful - it really pops!
