Life becomes so busy! We mean to capture the moments, but time gets away from us. We also seem to come up with a myriad of reasons why we should postpone taking images.
What is your reason?
Here is why you shouldn’t wait.
I Don’t Have Time
Do I really need to put another thing on my calendar? I have work, kids activities, meals to plan, and so many other commitments…
These reasons are legitimate. Life is crazy.
Portrait sessions are pretty quick and seamless at our studio. I plan with my clients ahead of time so I know wardrobe selection and I have everything ready to go with backgrounds, lighting, and posing ideas. The moments that we preserve together last a lifetime. This time set aside is truly worth the little extra effort.
I Want to Lose Weight First
This is one of the most common excuses.
Your family does not see weight. They see their beautiful family member that they love and treasure. They want to always remember YOU!
If weight is an honest concern for you, I can address some of your concerns in photoshop in a way that honors your beauty while making some tweaks on areas that cause you to worry. I promise, you will look like yourself on your very best day!
My Kids Won’t Behave
I love photographing kids because you never know what you are going to get! It only takes a fraction of a second to capture a magical expression!
As parents, we are hoping for the best and honestly sweating and worrying and afraid that there is going to be no images worth keeping for the time and effort.
Your kids might be busy, they might be distracted, they may need to be bribed. However, we almost always come up with images that are better than expected and cover a variety of emotions and each expression is priceless.
There’s Always Next Year
This is probably the most common and the most dangerous excuse.
People change. Families change. And many times these changes can be sudden, unexpected.
Capturing your family right now, just as it is, is priceless.
Professional Photography is Too Expensive
Professional photography is an investment. And therefore, may be perceived as an unnecessary expense.
These images may become the most treasured items in your home. When you divide the expense by the number of days that your portraits provide you with joy, the cost becomes less over the years.
How many other expenses provide lifelong joy?
