Have you ever asked yourself this question, “What is the purpose and meaning behind a photoshoot?”
When I get on the phone with a potential client, one of the first things I ask them is, “Why is this moment important to you?”
You see, I believe that we are creating and capturing these moments together for a purpose. Instead of just grabbing a quick family photo to update the Christmas card, I believe we are preserving your memories for you and for generations to come.
For example, this sweet girl turned 5 a few weeks ago. The dress that she is wearing is the dress my mother had made for me when I turned 5 years old. The bench that she is sitting on is a family heirloom from the late 1800s that we had reupholstered. My mom had pictures made of me in this dress and turned that picture into a beautiful, hand painted canvas that hangs above my parents mantel in their living room.
You see, this isn’t just a picture. It is a moment – a moment that honors my mother, a moment that honors me, and a moment that celebrates our daughter. This morning we curled her and put on just enough makeup.
You know what she told me afterward when I asked her how this made her feel?
“SPECIAL.”
When you take pictures of your children, you are telling them THEY ARE SPECIAL.
This is why our sessions together are two fold:
1. They help us remember a moment we never want to forget.
2. They celebrate the individuals who make that moment dear.
So what moment or memory can I help you and your family preserve? Contact me here to learn more about planning your next session
