I’ve dabbled in photography for almost fifteen years, so I often don’t think of hiring another photographer. I wanted to get some family photos on our Antigua trip, though, and it’s hard enough to get all five of us in frame while we’re at home so I figured we could use the extra photographer.
Here are some reasons why I’m really glad we hired a local:
+ Supporting a local creative is always great
+ Abi knew the locations best and could steer us in the right direction. Time is extremely valuable when three of your subjects have short attention spans, so the less time we could spend on these the better.
+ These work as both travel photos and family photos
+ We’ve gotten a LOT of mileage out of the photos she took. Mother’s Day gifts, Christmas gifts, a huge wall hanging we’ve gotten in our house…
+ While I enjoy photography, I’m still very much an amateur. Hiring someone else was a big boost in skill and gear.
