Family Photography. Family Portraits. Family Photo Shoot. Family Photo Experience.
You have probably heard all these words when discussing having pictures taken of your family. What do they all mean?
I think it is different for everyone.
Some might think it is just "something" a family needs to do." A task. An obligation. Doesn't everyone update their family "pictures" every year?
Others might be more invested. To them, having family photos taken is an event and a task, but something more. They value seeing their family images on their phone or computer and showing them to family and friends. It is a lot to do for them-planning a wardrobe, figuring out a location, getting their children ready and making sure everyone is clean, hair combed and ready to go.
There are others, though, who put more emphasis on the value of family photographs. To them, it is not a task, but an experience and an opportunity to be with their loved ones.
They want to have a tangible print that they can pass down to their family members because they believe in a lasting legacy. They value their family, the connection they share, and the love between them so much that they want to see and feel it everyday.
They know that one way to do that is to have a family portrait session so they can see their love and connection deepen.
We are a part of the third group. We strongly believe that having a family portrait session is so much more than just snapping the shutter, posing, wardrobe and location.
It is about YOU, your loved ones and helping you create a deeper connection and deepen your love for each other.
How do we do that?
Many people wonder-that is easy to say, but how do you help your clients deepen their love and connection with each other?
First, we believe that every family has a beautiful love story to tell because they ARE a beautiful love story. That love story involves everyone in your family, the interactions between each family members and the unique connections you share.
When you choose us to celebrate your family with photography, we like to meet with you and learn as much as we can about you! We ask questions like, "What is one thing about your daughter/son that makes your heart melt"? "When did you know you were in love with your partner for the very first time?"
Asking questions that dig a little deeper into your lives helps us discover more of who you are and what special moments really matter. When we know that, we can capture those special moments that make your heart sing.
Then, when you see these special moments, you will re discover the love you have, see a deeper connection and be drawn closer together. Especially if you see them every day hanging on the walls of your home, or viewing them in a beautifully hand crafted story book.
We strive to be more than just details such as location, what to wear and posing. These details are important, but we do not want to make them our top priority. We would rather capture the unexpected hug your son gave your daughter than stop them because they were not "in the right light", or not "posed" the best way!
Everything we do is intentional. The posing, location choice and wardrobe planning will be as well so your images will have the most impact. Your wardrobe will be coordinated, (we will come to your home and help you choose clothing if you need it!) We will discuss the best location for you and we handle the "posing" so everything will be perfectly customized to suit you and your loved ones.
Once your session is over, we hope you continue to deepen your love with each other by going out to lunch or dinner, or perhaps going to the park with the kiddos.
And, we hope to see you year after year not only to update your family's portraits, but to help you continue building a beautiful love story together!
