So what should I look for when hiring a photographer?

First your photographer must have a strong portfolio, flexible packages, and excellent references. They must offer a friendly personality and have a creative style that you enjoy. You should feel comfortable communicating your ideas and your photographer should be willing to listen and make helpful suggestions.

So why should I choose slemak photography over another photographer?

I consider myself an artistic photographer who simply enjoys the art of photography and digital design. Due to my 15+ years in the information technology industry, I have solid technical skills associated with exposure, lighting, composition, and photoshop post production. My passion for photography without the stress of having it as my primary source of income makes for a great combination to allow you, the customer, to be completely comfortable knowing I will provide top service without looking to just "punch the clock". Photography is a way for me to have an artistic outlet. I will work with you to get the images you are looking for. No job is too small or too large for me.

Do you require a consultation before booking?

No, but I highly recommend one. The more insight into the what you are looking for, the more pleased you will be with the end result.

Do you have your clients sign a contract?

It truly depends on the situation and the photographs being requested, but I do recommend a signed contract since it is excellent business practice to have a formal agreement. Not only does it protect me, it also protects you, the client, and clarifies all agreed upon services. To see a sample contract please click here.
