Why Family Photos Are Important | Twin Cities Family Photographer in MN
I’m here to tell you both from a personal perspective and as a professional photographer that you NEED to do a family portrait session of your family as you all are - NOW. Today.
As a professional photographer - my goal is to capture you and your favorite people in photographs to tell your story. I want you to be able to look at these images year after year, to reflect on the special bond you all share.
I will always promote printed products to display such as wall art and amazing custom photo albums and books, because it’s my job not only to create a beautiful portrait of your family - but to also encourage you to want to hang these amazing pieces up on your wall, or set the album out on your coffee table to share your family-not just to get those likes on Facebook or Instagram.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS DESERVE to be able to look at physical images of your family time after time at a moment’s notice.
Your family is why you get up every day to go to your job - ESPECIALLY a job that you might not love - but you have a family to support so you need to do it, right?
We do anything to make and create a better life for our families. Yet when it comes to getting family photos done, we ignore it and put it off for whatever reason. Reasons like “I need to lose weight first. We have to wait until they get their braces off. Let’s wait until next year. I hate getting my photos taken. We’ll schedule it later. It’s Covid, I haven’t gotten in to see my hair stylist.”
I’m here to tell you that your loved ones are not going to remember if you were 8 lbs over weight or how grown out your gray hairs were in a photograph. What they WILL rremember, is that they have captured moments in time with a sense of belonging to some of the greatest people in the world, and you are one of them. Photos capture the unique dynamics of family. Children like seeing photos of themselves. They like seeing photos of themselves being loved by you.
As a professional photographer, I’m asking you to please drop every single excuse you’ve got and change your mindset on why you’ve been putting off a photo session.None of us know when our time is up. But what we do know…is that we are here NOW.
The time to capture family photos is now.
Covid hair? Who cares. It’s your life right now in this moment.
Little Annie has her braces on still? That is awesome. It’s who she is right now.
Not sure what to wear? I can help make recommendations. That’s part of my job.
Stop the excuses. Your kids also deserve to have images that they can look back on as they grow up and experience families of their own.
More than ever in these strange times, family and togetherness is everything.
I’m doing family mini sessions this fall and I invite you to be part of it.
If I’ve talked you into doing family pics, I invite you to check out the awesome mini sessions I have this fall. To check those sessions out - go here!
If you can’t tell already, I do take my job seriously and I am very passionate about capturing you as you are today. Because we don’t know what tomorrow brings.
Get that session scheduled.
Fondly,
Monda the Photographer
