4 Reasons You Need A Professional Photographer For Your Blog

Mar 13

Photography has become essential in the blogging world. It's kind of like milk and cookies... or Netflix and chill! Without images, your blog is just incomplete.

As you scroll through your Instagram feed, one thing becomes clear: these influencers seem to have it all! Thousands of followers, loads of sponsors, and they even manage to post high-quality content multiple times a day. To top it all off, everything they post seems to be effortlessly beautiful every. dang. time.

How do they do it?!

Well, chances are, they've hired a professional photographer to help them grow and produce their high-end branded content.

And sure... it's okay to ask for the occasional help from friends and family in the beginning, but something will always be missing!

That's where we - the professional photographers, come in!

HERE ARE 4 REASONS WHY YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR BLOG: #HappyToHelp

1. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY INVESTMENT AS A BUSINESS OWNER

Paying a professional photographer is an investment, but it's an investment that produces an abundant return.

Let's say, for example, that you own a clothing brand. One way you can brand yourself is by partnering with an influencer and creating sponsored posts. It'd be a shame if this opportunity went to waste because of a bad picture - but thankfully you hired a professional photographer!

Using consistent, high-quality images to elevate your brand not only separates you from your peers but helps you catch the attention of that other brand you've been dying to work with. Therefore, you've found an equal opportunity for both parties!

2. WHY SETTLE FOR AN AMATEUR?

There's more to it than just a good photo. Hiring a professional photographer also takes the burden of editing off of your shoulders and makes your blogging process even more efficient.

As the photographer, it's our responsibility to capture and edit the high-quality shots you need. All you have to do is choose your favorites! With a professional photographer you'll have access to a range of high-quality shots, whereas with a family member behind the camera, you might only get one or two back.

Time is money and if you continue wasting your time on mediocre images and amateur photographers, then you might as well be wasting your money too.

3. MORE TIME FOR OTHER TO-DOS

The more experienced photographers can crank out at least 3 or 4 looks an hour, providing you with a variety of looks and styles to choose from. But behind the scenes, for every hour the photographer spends taking pictures, there are at least 4 hours of editing! So if you can eliminate photography (and editing) from your list of to-do's as a business owner, you'll find yourself with an extra five hours for blogging, social media, and relaxing with your loved ones. How about that? 😍 #MicDrop

You never know what you have until you see what's been missing. Sure, sometimes iPhone portraits are enough to get the job done... but after seeing what could be done by a professional, you just can't go back!
