The portfolio of a photographer needs to be checked. Taking family and children photos is not the same as taking those of weddings or for corporate purposes.

In most cases, photography is subjective and thus you need to check their previous photos to know the quality to expect. Lighting features of the photos should be checked too.

You should think of your preferred setting and get a photographer that is able to work in the kind of setting. There are a number of settings in which portraits are captured.

A client should think of their preferred setting and time constraints. The preferred photographer should be able to work within that setting.

It would be a good idea to go for a full time photographer. There are many photographers that do photography as a part time activity.

Clients are supposed to read contracts before they are signed. No payments should be made till the contract is in place.
