Top Reasons to Get Family Pictures NOW!

As the days get warmer and sun is out just a bit longer, I tend to think about photography just a little bit more; well, I get a more enthusiastic about it. I am eager to catch the moments of children playing barefoot in the grass, little girls picking flowers in their tutu's, boys running around like superhero's, playing hide and seek and other fun things that kids like to do! I wonder if there are other moms and dads that want to stop time, just for a moment. Imagine being able to see those "moments" forever, even when your children are grown. Yes, as parents, we love seeing our children grow, change and reach their milestones. I am so thankful that I have the images of the moments of my beautiful children.  Those images bring back warm memories. I could spend hours staring at some of their pictures.

That brings me to the reason for this post. Here are some reasons to get those family portraits done right away! Ready? Here we go.....

~ Christmas is not that far away, you don't want to send out another cheesy picture with forced

    smiles, do you?

~ Capture your family having fun to help your kids remember those moments. They are young, they

    won't remember everything  about when they were growing up.

~ Portraits today aren't straight lace, posed anymore! Don't be scared of the camera!! Get out, have

   fun, interact with your family.  Let the photographer do the rest, we're only capturing the things you

   do together anyway.

~ If you don't make the time to have some portraits done, who will?  How many times have you put

   something off for whatever reason and thenn realize later that you should have done it long ago?

   Make the time to do something for your family, and for YOU.

~ It's beautiful outside!  the colors of nature make a perfect background for a family or children's

   portrait session.

~ Family portraits can be as creative and unique as your family!  Find a photographer that fits your

   families style.  Have fun with it!

~ Your family will never again be who they are TODAY.  Tomorrow will bring change. New

    milestones, growing little bodies, changing faces, graying hair (it happens!), starting high school,

    leaving for college, etc, etc. We all know it happens, but it's amazing how fast it does.  Capture

    family as they are now.

~ And, if you're still not convinced now is the right time, read Spanki Mill's post, "If I could turn

  back time," about how grateful she was for the family portraits they had done. (Be prepared,

  it's heart wrenching!)  http://www.spankimillsphotography.com/blog/if-i-could-turn-back-time/
