Have you ever had a professional family photo session? If the answer is yes, that’s great!!! I hope you’ve printed some of your family photos and they’re decorating the walls of your home!
If you answered no to that question, what’s holding you back?
I’m writing this blog post to share with you reasons why you should invest in family photos.
documenting your right now
If you have a little one you know they grow tremendously fast. Time doesn’t keep! A reason to invest in family photos is to document your right now. What does your family look like? What does your child like? What does your home look like?
getting photos with your pets
For in home family sessions it can be pretty easy to include family pets, but it’s not to say that we can’t include pets for outdoor sessions! I’ve had several family sessions that included dogs and cats and it’s something I cherish of my own family photos! Pets are our family too.
you deserve to have actual professional non-phone pictures and non selfies!
When you think about your own family photos, who typically takes them? Is it you? Do they also include selfies? I have these too!
But I would recommend once a year you should be intentional and schedule a professional family session with a photographer! You deserve to be in front of the frame just as often as your family members.
a photographer will see your family in such a beautiful way!
This goes without saying that other people, in this case a photographer, will likely view you different than you view yourself or your own family. By using a lifestyle approach you’ll be directed to do small actions that cause the most candid and real reactions. And typically this helps the families relax and spontaneously have connection with family members that help tell a story in the images!
a photographer will also view your home in an artistic way that you might not have thought about
If you’re thinking you want to hire a photographer for an in home family session, that’s so great! There are SO many benefits of in home sessions. One of the most fun things about photographing families in their homes is using home elements, couches, color, texture, patterns to compose images and to help see your home in an artistic way that you may not have thought about. I’ve experienced hiring a photographer for my own in home family photos and it can be pretty mindblowing how another person can view your home.
memories to look back on
When your photographer clicks the shutter button at the right time when you’re playing that silly game, or when your toddler makes that scrunch face, or when the family piles onto the bed. You’ll have these images to look back on and to talk about what was happening!
