My daughter hasn’t got married yet, but I know it’ll happen soon. A teenager today, a young professional tomorrow!

 

Last summer she took senior pictures. I let her decide which photographer to go with, and she chose someone (similar to firms that provide senior portraits Kingwood) outside my network of wedding professionals. I was fine with her decision, but when we shared her pictures on Facebook shortly thereafter, obviously some of my wedding photography connections were not.

My daughter went with someone who specializes in portraits and did her homework on the photographer’s style, editing and price range.

 

Splendid Insights shared the most important factors in getting hired by millennials are the three P’s:

 

  • Portfolio
  • Personality
  • Promptness

 

Liene Stevens, the founder of Splendid Communications, shared that research is a way of life for millennials. Millennials value peer feedback because they grew up learning in groups. What their friends/family think matters too. My daughter valued the photographer’s portfolio more than anything else.

 

What type of portfolio are you putting on the Web or on social media to get hired?
