Over the years, I’ve come across a lot of moms who stress
over all the things about getting ready for their photographs: the clothes, the background, the kids, the partner… so much to manage! No wonder so many Moms of Two think to
themselves, “Oh, there’s so much going on, I’ll just do it Next Time.”
Before you know it, Next Time comes, and goes, and guess
what? It keeps getting pushed away, with a vague sort of intention. Eight years and
two children later, there are no photographs on the walls of the whole family, when your second child was two.
Moms of Four now have no
photographs of smiling parents and children, gathered together in the safe
haven of a loving embrace, on the wall, for everyone to see. Do the younger children ever wonder if they were just dropped off one day?
Moms, I give you permission to dream about having a
beautiful family photography experience.
I give you permission to stress less over outfits and locations. I even give your partner permission to enjoy the time together.
Discovering what is most important to you is the beginning
of your journey. Take this time to savor
each family member, and soak them in. Reconnect with your partner,
discuss more about life than the bills.
Coming together as individuals who interact with each other genuinely
will be more evident in your artwork when approached in this fashion.
Planning your photography experience, photographing exactly
what you want, and creating artwork that is perfect for your home are the next
steps. This is necessary, because without this crucial part, all we have is a potpourri of photographs that we don't know what to do with, and then it becomes a mundane moment. The magic can only come when the steps are followed.
Finally, the best day comes, and that is when I deliver your
artwork to your home. As you open each piece and lovingly touch them, you'll recall what it was like
that day, with the warm sun on your shoulders and your children’s giggles ringing on the breeze. You’ll
fall in love with your family all over again. As the artwork goes up on your wall, you'll fall in love again. And every time you pass it by, you'll fall in love again, and again.
You see, the artwork on your walls can truly impact your life, and each of your family members' lives. Let this artwork be a guide for your family, to remind you of how you love each other, even when times are tough. With artwork, it's easy to be able to feel that love, every single day.
And that's all that matters, right?
