Finding the Right Photographer for Your Family
Finding the right photographer for your family can be daunting. Why?
First, there are so many photographers out there. Each with different styles.
Second, there is usually quite the range in price, experience and value.
So, how do you choose?
We hope you choose a photographer that fits your family! One that you can connect with for a lifelong relationship. And, of course, we hope that will be us.
Most of us make decisions based on our beliefs and values. If you value the least expensive item and are not too concerned with developing any kind of relationship, experience, or quality, then you will probably choose the least expensive company or person out there.
If you value more quality and relationships, then you will probably choose someone else.
Why choose Songs of Life?
One reason you might choose Songs of Life is due to our style. Yes! Style! you know how you can look at a Picasso and just know it is a Picasso? It is because of the style. You wouldn't think it was a Renoir, right?
If you choose Songs of Life for your family photographer, we hope you will "see" our style. Think "lifestyle" photography meets "family inspired". And-FUN.
You will see some candid, some lifestyle and some posed images to give you great variety and a chance to see your loved ones just as their are.
Our goal with all our Storytelling Sessions is to help you capture every day, real life moments. We are your guided assistant all the way through and offer many ways to make your images be impactful so they will be genuinely you.
Our Main Goal
Our mission is to help you see and experience the love and connection you share and to see you as authentically as possible.
How do we do that?
We realize every family and person is unique so in order to help you have a session unique to you, we like to learn about you! We will meet over the phone for a Discovery call and ask questions such as, "Tell me what your daughter is like? Does she prefer quite and solitude or a lot of activity?" "What do you love best about her and want to see displayed in your portraits?"
Asking questions like these helps us get to know you best so we can photograph the special moments you want to remember; the moments you want to see every day in your home.
You will see the authentic characteristics of your loved ones not just the same cookie cutter portraiture.
What else will you see?
You will see imagery that is unique to you. Natural, expressive children's portraits!
When I photograph your children, I want to capture them in their most authentic selves; their best expressions. It is not always about standing in posed way smiling for the camera.
It is often contemplative, quiet, fun or extremely crazy.
You will also see-
Cuddle Family Imagery
The snuggles and hugs are connection focused and they showcase the special kind of love you have for one another. Prompted but not posed, these images might include group hugs on a blanket, lots of kisses or any other arrangement of your family happily close together!
Images of Siblings Doing their Thing
Your kiddos are experts at playing together and being spontaneous. They will naturally interact, chase one another and get a little silly. Let them! These are the moments you will long to remember and we will document them beautifully for you.
What Else?
Candid, Active Portraits and Posed Imagery
Some of the images you will see will be true candid and some will be prompted photos based on what I discover during our Discovery call.
Does your daughter love to be thrown in the air? Does your son love it when he rides high on your shoulders? These are the moments that make your photos truly yours.
Most of our clients still want to see more formal, posed imagery. These are often the ones that live over a fireplace on a canvas or framed print. Thus, we will include those for you as well!
Anything Else?
You will see our style that meshes with your family.
You will see authentic, genuine photos that represent your loved ones.
And, you will see imagery that gives you much variety to help tell your family's love story beautifully.
