Hiring a photographer is a big decision, and it is not always obvious what to look for.

Whether it is your wedding day, your senior session, or your family photos, these photos are the ones you will keep for decades. So it is worth taking a minute to make sure you are choosing the right person for the job.

Swipe through for the things I always tell people to consider before they book. Look at full galleries, make sure the style fits what you want, know what is included, and pay attention to how they communicate from the very first message. Your photographer should make this feel easy, not stressful!

And if you are planning something in the Chippewa Valley or Eau Claire area, I would love to hear about it. No pressure, just a conversation to see if we are a good fit.

What NOT to wear for senior pictures👇🏻

As your senior photographer, my goal is to help you look and feel your absolute best, and that starts with your outfit! Here’s what to skip for your senior session:

1. Neon or super bright colors. These can reflect onto your skin, creating an unnatural glow (think green or orange undertones 😬). Stick to more timeless, flattering tones that complement your features.

2. Tiny or busy patterns. Very small stripes or intricate prints can create a moiré effect (weird wavy lines that show up on camera), which can be distracting and quite honestly, hard to edit out.

3. Colors that match your skin tone too closely. N**e or beige tones that blend with your skin can wash you out in photos. We want contrast that makes you pop, not blend into the background!

4. Logos or large graphics (with the exception of college gear or your HS sports uniform!) These can date your photos and pull focus away from your face, and let’s be honest, this shoot is all about YOU, not your favorite brand.

5. Wrinkled or ill-fitting clothes. This seems small, but details matter. A clean, steamed, well-fitted outfit will photograph so much better and be more flattering on you!

Need help deciding what to wear? We’ve got you! Here at Andrew Samplawski Photography, we’re always happy to help you choose pieces that will photograph beautifully and reflect your personality.

Whether you’re in the Chippewa Valley area, or want us to travel to you, send us a DM or fill out the contact form on the website and let’s start planning your dream senior photo shoot! 🎓

Tim and Courtney’s wedding day at the Eau Claire Event District was one for the books!

From the walk down the aisle to the last dance, the day was full of laughter, happy tears, and the kind of moments that make being a wedding photographer so special.

We got lucky with some golden hour moments as the light poured through the venue’s big windows. We slipped away for a few minutes at sunset to capture just the two of them, and those ended up being some of my favorite photos of the day.

Congrats, Tim and Courtney! It was an honor to be a part of your special day.

As much as I love a Chippewa Valley wedding, I also love an adventure! Whether it’s an elopement or a destination wedding, I’ll travel just about anywhere to document your love. Send me a message if you’re in the wedding planning process and let’s chat!

A change of scenery for this one. Most of my engagement sessions happen out in rural Wisconsin, but Michelle and Joseph wanted the city, so we headed to Milwaukee for their engagement photos!

We started at the Milwaukee Art Museum, then walked the lakefront along Lake Michigan. That gave us clean modern architecture, open sky, and lots of room to just walk and talk.

If you’re picturing urban engagement photos with a calm, natural feel, this is a great place to start.

Congrats, you two. Thank you for trusting Andrew Samplawski Photography with this milestone, and I can’t wait for your wedding day.

Well friends… It’s happening!

After 16 years in business and thousands of requests, we’re finally offering a VERY LIMITED number of fall mini sessions over the next two weeks!

Prime fall colors are upon us, so if you’ve been hoping to squeeze in updated family portraits this fall, here’s your chance.

Each session includes 30 minutes at a local park and 5 digital images of your choice.

Once you book, you’ll also receive our Fall Outfit Guide, filled with outfit inspiration, color palettes, and ideas to help reduce the stress of figuring out what everyone should wear.

Booking is completely online. Simply choose the date and time that works best for your family, and you’re all set.

And because Wisconsin weather likes to keep us on our toes, I've already selected rain dates for each session.

These are intentionally VERY limited, and once the available times are gone, they’re gone.

Book your fall mini session below, or share this with a friend or family member who has been saying, “We really need new family pictures!”

If you've ever thought "I don't know how to pose" this one's for you!

I see it at almost every session. Seniors come in a little nervous, unsure of what to do with their hands or where to look. And honestly? That's completely normal! Posing doesn't come naturally to most people, which is why I'm here!

My job isn't just to press the shutter. It's to direct, guide, and yes, sometimes even demonstrate the pose for you through every single moment of your shoot so that what comes out on the other side feels like you… not stiff, not forced, just real. 🙌🏻

Every great shot starts with a prompt. The magic happens when you stop overthinking it, relax, and just have fun! 😉

Trista and Kyle made this session completely their own!

From grabbing ice cream to wandering through the library, they wanted their engagement session to feel like them, and that's exactly what we did. 🙌🏻

This session was especially meaningful because I've had the honor of photographing Trista's senior photos as well as portraits of her and her family. Getting to document this next chapter of her life was truly special.

Congratulations, you two! Thank you for trusting me to capture this exciting milestone!
