Why It’s Totally Worth It to Travel for a Photographer You Love || Schmitz Family – Sunset Family Session – Cedar Falls, Iowa Family Photographer

This was one of the most fun family sessions I had this past October. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this family and their kiddos lots of times over the years so from the moment they arrived, it was like reuniting with old friends! This amazing family actually traveled a good distance just to have me photograph them. Talk about dedication! It got me thinking about why it’s totally worth it to travel for a photographer you absolutely adore.

Personal Connection and Trust: When you travel for a photographer you love, you’re not just booking a session; you’re investing in someone whose work makes your heart skip a beat. This family follows my work and felt a real connection to my style. That trust meant they were totally at ease, which translates into genuine, beautiful photos.

Consistency and Quality: Choosing a photographer whose work you’ve admired and who you know produces consistent imagery is important. Traveling to someone who you know will be able to create beautiful images no matter what is well worth the investment of your time and money.

Unique Locations: Sometimes, traveling to your photographer can mean shooting in unique or picturesque locations you wouldn’t have locally. The combination of the right photographer and a great location brings an extra touch of magic to your photos.

Memorable Experience: Turning a photo session into a mini-adventure or weekend getaway? Yes, please! We have had families make a whole trip out of it, exploring the area and creating new memories. The session becomes more than just a photo shoot – it ends up being part of a fun, meaningful family experience they’ll never forget.

Personalized Attention: When families are willing to travel, it usually means they’re all in. This family’s dedication allowed us to take our time and capture a variety of shots without feeling rushed. They were present, engaged, and totally into it, which meant I could give them my full creative energy. The result? A rich collection of photos that perfectly captured their vibe.

So if you’re considering traveling for a photographer you love: do it! It’s worth every mile and the memories you make will be priceless.
