How does one decide if a photographer can do what is wanted? Look at their
book. If you like what you see, then check references for work habits, etc.
If the person has a good record of producing results, and you like their
work, that should be enough. And if the family from the East Coast can't
tell good work from bad, then it hardly matters which they buy.
Sincerely,
Joe Stephenson

Good points!

If a family moves from the east coast to the west coast and has a need for a
professional photographer.  How do they know how to select one.  Do they ask
their neighbor, take a dart and throw it at the yellow pages,  or what?
If
this family moved to Portland, how can they be sure that they are going to
select Mark Rabiner?   They might get hold of Tom Schmelovitz that decided
last night to become a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.  How do they know the
difference.  Mark Rabiner, Professional Photographer.  Tom Schmelovitz,
Professional Photographer.
