| Ever tried getting your little one all dressed up and then rushing them off to the toy or department store portrait studio, just to get 15 minutes of time in front of the camera? Most of the time you're lucky to walk away with a small hand full of shots of your child "posed" in front of a back drop. Sometimes it's even worse... and don't end up with any, wishing you could get back the morning or afternoon that was just wasted. It's unfortunate, but all to common. Time... it's a very precious commodity and it always seems to go by so fast. If you have a baby or small child time becomes even more precious! Lifestyle Photography is something that is becoming more and more common with parents and families. The days where you put your child on a bench in front of a 'less than personal backdrop' and then have someone telling your child to say "cheese", are in my opinion, numbered. Just imagine having a collage of pictures from your child's first weeks and then through their first years, that show exactly who they were, what they were doing and the development of their ever growing personalities. Photography is so much more than just being able to take a good picture. It's about being able to relate, to bond and to connect with not just your clients... but with people whom have come to trust you with their family and children. The best way for this to happen is to trust who is taking pictures of your family, and let them get to know you. Children are smart... and they tend to be at there cutest (being themselves) when they are comfortable and in their own surroundings. Not having their schedule (or lack there of) disturbed gives all involved, the upper hand. My goal is to talk with my parents, finding out as much as I can about their children; their likes, dislikes and their personalities, favorite past times and even their daily schedule. I think that being able to take a peek into their lives, I'll be able to produce not only a much more personalized product, but also be able to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the process. If you would like to schedule your portrait session, please feel free to email me to make an appointment. I will only be doing a limited number of portrait sessions over the next few months leading up to our busy wedding season of 2008! :-) Labels: Portraits |
