This is always the time of the year when everyone starts thinking about the holidays! Then, the to do list begins… Often times you forget about the yearly Christmas card or maybe you want to start doing one! Well I’m here to tell you why it’s important to document your family & also, why it’s the best season to do it!
Why it’s important to have your family documented?
To start off, being able to have all the faces a part of your family photographed is a special thing. This is how you’ll reminisce in years to come & look back on our current present. It’s not a trick, but hiring a photographer for family photos can make the process a little more smooth sailing. As a photographer that enjoys taking family photos, I want to capture those formal photos, because those are important. However, allow the kids to have fun, act a little silly, make the goofy faces, & don’t put pressure on being perfect! All I want is for y’all to feel comfortable in front of my camera, because that’s how I capture the most authentic version of yourself & your family.
Is the holiday season really the best time of year?
In my opinion as a lifestyle photographer, Yes this is the best time!
Most lifestyle photographers will allow time in their schedules to do mini sessions during the Holiday season. A Mini Sessions is typically taken place at 1 location on a specific day & time, & the session time is shorter. Mini Sessions can be less expensive than the photographer’s typical full session rate. Mini Sessions are great thing, especially if you’re worried the kids won’t be able to hold up for longer than 15-25 minutes. Plus, if you hire a photographer you don’t have to worry about the set up, posing, & editing of photos!
Why you should have your family photographed!
Well, if you’re thinking about having a proper family session done, then start looking & find someone who will work, & then have it done how you want! Ask around & find a photographer that will be able to capture your family. It’s a special memory that not only you will remember, but your kids will too!
Plus, your family photos can even be presents for yourself or others in your life!
