Photography is something that has always been important to me. I remember my first camera and taking it to school dances to capture all the fun. I remember going to prom and waking up early to get all the rolls of film developed at the 1 hour photo lab. There is just something about capturing a moment that really excites me. So now that I have a family it is very important that I capture everyone and we do family portraits fairly often……and of course too often for all the kids and probably my husband. But I place a high value on family portraits and love that I have them. I also believe that every family should have a family portrait to capture their moment in time. I know a lot of moms shy away from the camera or are the photographers in their families which means one important family member is missing in images. As a photographer I believe that I am blessed to be able to capture other families moments in time. If you have been thinking about getting a family portrait done, do it. Do it for your children and if you are a mom, get in the image. Your children won’t even notice your roots, a few extra pounds, a smile line or even a fading tan but I guarantee they will notice when you are missing.
