I just got my first professional event. It’s a 1 yr birthday party. What are some tips/suggestions can pros give me based on your experience? Any specific type of photos I need to click, how do I make myself stand out and what are some Do’s and Dont’s
Get there early, check lighting and backgrounds for future reference.
Make a point of getting pictures of young guests with or without their parents as soon as they get there, especially the littles. This way, you’ll have pictures of them without cake in their hair, which their parents will appreciate, and possibly remember you when they need a photographer.
A loud squeaky toy can be a great aid to getting little kids to look at you for a photo. Works great with pets as well.
