How to Choose Your Quince Photographer
Choosing a quince photographer can be very confusing, but is a very important decision for most parents. The pictures from the photo session hopefully will be in your family for generations to come. There are many things to consider when choosing a photographer.
The first thing moms always ask is how much does the package cost and what does it include. Miami has many quince photographers to choose from. Many are very good photographers and some maybe are not quite as good. As a rule of thumb better photographers charge more. Photography packages start as little of $595 and can go up to over $7500 and more. Many factors can determine the cost of the photo session.
Generally the quince dress is included in the packages. While some photographers have an inventory of dressed at their studio, generally the selection is limited and rarely do they have someone to make alterations. Alterations are very important on the dresses so they fit comfortably and well as the ability to add or remove sleeves, capes and or wings to the quince dress.
Makeup is another cost in the package. If the quince package includes hair and makeup the cost built in the package can be as high as $600. Also the application of the makeup is very important. Generally it is recommended to have a more natural look that is age appropriate for the Quinceanera. Additionally it is recommended to have a female makeup artist for young girls.
The prints can be very expensive as well. There are many options for the prints from photographic paper to metallic and acrylic. Photographic paper prints are displayed with a frame. A matte finish with the glass is highly recommended at regular glass will show glare and diminish the value of the picture when you look at it. Metallic and Acrylic are also beautiful choices as is Canvas print. Keep in mind with all of these options there are options of quality and prices. The least expensive price rarely works out best.
Having a stylist is very important for most moms and Quinceaneras. Miami offers many beautiful locations for Quince Sessions that lend themselves for several outfits. The style and color and detail of each outfit is important to match the location. Also understanding how to choose colors for the location. Each outfit should have appropriate accessories and be organized prior to the photo session so that the photo shoot goes smoothly without confusion. Supanik Photography has a professional stylist with dozens of beautiful dresses, outfits, casual wears, crowns and hundreds of accessories. Our stylist Lily grew up in New York with her mother working in the design district for forty years. Lily really has amazing touch working with the girls and putting together beautiful outfits.
Your album is of utmost importance. Almost all albums looks nice when they are new, however lesser expensive albums tend to ear poorly over time with the bindings breaking and the prints losing color. Acrylic covers are very popular today with moms and Quinceaneras, however they are a bit of a fad and are not timeless. Additionally they are heavier and add pressure on the binding of the album.
We have travelled all over the world with our photography from Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia to the Caribbean, Italy, Spain and as far as China. We have done destinations session in New York and Las Vegas and done fashion shoots all over the country as well. Having said that we can honestly say that Miami offer the most amazing locations for Quince Sessions. See our locations on our website.

Lastly when choosing your photography studio it is important that you have good chemistry with the photographer and you certainly want to meet him in advance so he gets to know you. There are studios that employ several photographers and you may not have any idea of who will be capturing your pictures. These studios have a variety of packages as well and often assign the better photographers to clients that purchase the most expensive packages.
