Hiring a Local School Photographer
The roots of my life in Tallahassee, Florida have grown deeper and wider in the gorgeous canopy tree backdrop of my town. My first step in Tallahassee was at the eager age of 18, wholeheartedly ready to embark on my college endeavors at The Florida State University. In what they call ‘a blink of an eye’, twenty four years has passed, minus a few adventurous years living in Atlanta, George-and Tallahassee is home. I am incredibly blessed with a husband who is native of Tallahassee, and together we are raising our two kids in this precious town where you will frequently see us watching our children at Sharon Davis Dance studio, IGG gymnastics, flag football with Northwoods Center, and local Cub Scouts in Suwannee River Council. You will see us visiting our favorite local restaurants Coosh’s, Z’ Bardhi’s, Sage, and Savior. The community of Tallahassee is the bridge to our human connection. Connection is the beginning, middle, and end of all my interactions for my photography. Below we will dive into how hiring a local school photographer is more than the images.
Fine Art Portraits - Marlo Moody Photography
A local school photographer comes with expertise and experience.
The core of my photography passion will always be family photography. The years of family photography experience has given me the dynamic exposure of working with children of all ages and the ability to capture the childrens’ innate personalities. I bring the same interaction and connection to my school photography that I have with my family photography sessions. A welcoming space along with a big smile and lots of fun energy allows the students to relax and give me their best version of themselves. Understanding children of all ages and having the experience of working quickly and efficiently is benefit for all.
A local school photographer is invested in building relationships.
Hiring a local school photographer in Tallahassee provides the school, parents, and students with an individual that is invested in the local city. I am invested in Tallahassee and the surrounding areas. This community connection offers a strong sense of trust for the school, students, and parents. The impact in the community by hiring a local school photographer strengthens the community and supporting local talent. The simplest way to share this benefit is by saying, I care! I care about the quick connection and introduction that I strive to make with each student, no matter the age. I care about the smiles that I freeze in 1/200 of a second that showcases that specific student at that specific time in their lives. I care for the student on the other end and for the memories given to the students, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I truly care!
A local school photographer offers consistent quality.
School portraits need to be consistent year after year. A local school photographer will offer consistent quality and maintaining a cohesive look across all grade levels. The consistent quality in the photos will ensure the schools confidence in the results each year. I strive to keep all aspects of my photography with a consistent look within my family, newborn, senior, professional portraits, and school portraits. It is important to me that my style is presented on my website so that potential individuals can see and know what they will be receiving.
A local school photographer offers personalized options.
From preschool, elementary, middle, high school and college, each school has unique and different goals. Hiring a local photographer will embrace the customized request and be willing to work with the school. From a class pictures, faculty professional portraits, to offering sibling pictures, Marlo Moody Photography is willing to collaborate with the school and create a special package.
A local school photographer is easily accessible.
Life happens and last minute changes need to be addressed with easiness. By hiring a local school photographer, the school can breath easier with the last minute changes or schedule a “make-up” day for the absent students. I understand things happen and as a photographer I am accustomed to pivoting. With open communication with myself, the school, and the parents during the ordering process, I strive to offer easy accessibility and the beauty of convenience for the school, students, and parents.
The most important benefit to hiring a local school photographer, to me, is the deep genuine feeling of caring! Above all the other amazing benefits it is by far the most important to me. As a school photographer in Tallahassee, I truly care for the students, the images that I take, the attention to details while editing, and the smooth process for the parents to order online. The benefits of hiring a local school photographer extends beyond just capturing images.
