At the beginning of the year I made a goal to make my photography more meaningful, and I meant my definition of meaningful. I wanted my clients to be able to look at their photos and see what makes them love their family. I didn’t want to waste the precious time I have with the families that hire me to simply record what their faces look like in a forced smile. I want them to see what they see when I’m not there. I truly believe our families are the most important things in our lives, and capturing them at this moment is truly priceless. We never ever know what will be our future, and what won’t be. We change, our loved ones change.
I challenge all of you whether you are a client, reader, friend, photographer, whatever brought you to this blog to take a picture with your family now. Don’t wait until you lose weight. Don’t wait until you get the perfect wrinkle cream, win the lottery or find the perfect outfit. It doesn’t matter if you hire a professional, set your camera on self timer, or ask your neighbor to take it. Just take one. After you take one print it out, and I promise you will be glad you did. It will become priceless to you.
This was my third time photographing this family. You can see them here and here. I love them. They are not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. I really really hope they look at these pictures and see how amazing they are, and how important they are to each other. Be sure to scroll down and watch the slideshow.
