My mom religiously kept photographic records of every aspect of my childhood. Photos of me playing sports, of me with friends, first days of school. Everything.
Whenever I feel like going down memory lane, I have tons of photo albums to open and see photos of me that bring back really great memories. Being with friends at birthday parties that I enjoyed, my first time making a gigantic snowman, and being held by people I loved deeply who have passed on.
I am grateful for these photos. But in reality, they are more than just photos, they are moments, captured in time, frozen and forever preserved, untouchable by the passing of time.
It's important that you invest in making an effort to capture these moments. Photos are cherished and looked back on, especially after a family has grown, or changed. This is the importance of a family session.
The one thing I wish I had more of are photos where my mom is in them. She was usually the one taking the photo or had too much on her mind to take a second and pose with everyone.
It's my goal as a photographer to help my clients to get those photos. The ones where everyone is in it, smiling, laughing, and having a good time! Ones like these, from a fantastic family session I had a few months ago.
Family photos don't have to be boring, or a chore, or something that stresses out the parents so much they completely miss the fun.
Crazy concept, right?
Your job is to show up and have fun. It's my job to help with everything else. After booking a session with me, you'll get an opportunity to meet me over a video call. I love to get to know my clients and to know their stories so their family photos truly reflect who they are. You'll also get a client guide, where I go over the best tips and tricks for picking out outfits and colours that go well together. Plus some helpful information about how to keep kids entertained and happy throughout the session!
Family is important; having photos to look back on that include everyone in the family is just as important. If you and your family decide to invest in capturing some precious family moments, reach out, and we can work together to tailor a session made special for you and your family!
