The benefits of working with the same school photographer each year

I for one definitely notice the ease and less stressful situations I’m in personally when I work with a vendor or contractor who I already have a working relationship with, and the same is true within photography!

By working with the same school photographer (and local photography business) you are creating many benefits for your school staff and community.

Comfort

Many individuals, children and adults included are nervous and uncomfortable when being photographed. And, added to that is the ‘stranger danger’ developmental age present for many preschoolers, and this can yield photos where the student or staff member feels uncomfortable. By working with the same photographer year after year your staff and students will become increasingly comfortable having their photo taken, will have great photos taken, and will even look forward to school photo day!

Consistency

When you work with the same photographer, there will be consistency in their approach, set up, flow of photo day, and the final product of your photos. Families and schools will know what to expect from their photos, and there will be consistency from year to year or season to season within those images.

Efficiency

After working with a photographer and learning the set up, flow, and process for both the photographer and the school, picture day will run more efficiently for all involved. And, the ordering process and communications will have increased efficiency as well due to all parties being familiar with the process and each other.

Personalized Service

A long-term relationship between your school and photographer will lead to an increased personalization of service. You will be able to ensure that your school receives everything that it needs internally for photo day, and the families and community will have the benefit of working with a small local business and the personalized service that entails.
