| ...the style of your family portrait... |
What an interesting day it was yesterday!
In the morning a mom came to pick up her portraits--images we had made several months ago. I was touched by her reaction to seeing her finished portraits for the first time--She actually was squealing with delight! I kid you not. Her joy in seeing the her sweet little boy reminded me why I love making pictures for people.
Later yesterday a different mom, ( I'll call her 'Jane') came in to have me put new images into her family album. The album is about a year old and has pictures from the first year of life of her twin children. As we looked through her album Jane was emotional--" Look at my babies, aren't they sweet, they are soo different now. This album is precious. This is BY FAR the best thing I have Ever spent money on."
I could not believe Jane said this. Jane had just finished designing, building and furnishing and decorating a brand new home. And she just told me the pictures we made together meant more than any appliance, stud, wall or floor covering or other do-dad she had picked out. Her remark made me realize again the meaning and value of images we create together.
AFTER JANE LEFT a third client came to pick up his family portraits. (no he was not the ghost of christmas past) 'John' told me about what each of the grown children in the portraits is up to. I could see how much love and pride he has for his family. I am happy to have been able to make images of them during the holidays when they came together. They will cherish for many years these portraits, the remembrance of this moment in the life of their family--in a few years the kids will all be out of the house maybe relocated to different parts of the country, maybe with grandchildren even. At this moment they were together as a family and their joy in each other is very evident in the images he is holding in the box. "I think my wife will like these pictures," he said.
SO that was part of my day yesterday.
If you would like to have family portraits made, please contact me.
Your
portrait does not have to...
have everyone dressed in their best clothes.. Everyone does
not have to be looking at the camera with their best smiles.
..You do not have to have a studio backdrop..
In your portrait you may be involved in an activity you enjoy together... You may be in a cozy corner in your home, or my studio, or in a nook of your yard, or at a park in the area....you could be at a beach, or the family place up north....the possibilities are as varied as your personalities are!
With a bit of thought and planning we can make the perfect portrait for this time in your family's life. I hope this has given you some inspiration.
I know family life can be very busy. Please take a moment now to call or email and we can get started on making your family portrait happen!
