"The Portrait I do best is of the person I know best"
-Nadar
(By the way if you are in portrait photography and you don't know who Nadar is....you have some research to do)
A photograph is a memory.
When I photograph a family, I know I am capturing a moment in their lives.
I am capturing a moment that my clients will go back and look at years down the road.
They will giggle at mom's glasses, and their outfits that are way out of style.
A photograph is something that is cherished for years to come, and as a part time portrait photographer I am constantly giving so many families treasures like these, but I often forget to photograph my own family.
I get so worn out from photographing, and editing my clients pictures that it is sometimes a struggle to get my camera out to photograph my children and husband.
It is so important that we differentiate between our clients and our family, and that we see the importance of loving our loved ones from behind the lens.
We need and deserve the memories too.
