As a photographer in the Shreveport Louisiana area, I have taken my fair share of portraits. I get to capture moments and memories for growing families that could be so easily forgotten if it weren’t for the photographs to remember the details.
I not only find value in taking portraits for others, I also realize the value to be IN the photos too.
You see, as a mom, we are always the ones taking the photos. We have cute photos of the kiddos and dad but so few of us with them. Or even more so few of just us and the hubs. Why? Well, who’s going to take it??? Or maybe we don’t like the way our bodies look after having kids. Maybe we just don’t even think about it.
The beautiful thing about family photography is that you don’t even have to think about it! I will direct every single moment of your session.
But why is it so important to actually be in photos?
Well, let’s think about when you were growing up. Do you remember what your parents looked like when you were 3? I sure don’t. But I can look back at the countless images my mom has taken and printed and I can see what they looked like.
I can see moments of them with me on my birthdays, helping me put together my new toys. I can see the joy on my face in one photo where my dad is helping me with a fishing pole.
It is so important for our children to have a legacy to look back on and see these special times in their lives that maybe they wouldn’t remember if it hadn’t been documented. But what’s even more special is that if in those same photos they can see mom and dad, loving them and loving each other.
This is what family photography is all about.
