Being a professional baby and family photographer, its not unusual if my clients shed a few tears whilst viewing all of their beautiful portraits. In fact it happens a lot more than you may think.
Yesterday I had a beautiful family of 4 come into my little home photography studio for an updated family photography shoot. They were two little boys - 7months and 3 years along with their mum and dad. They hadn't had any professional portraits taken as a family since their second bubs was born, and usually mum would just request for photos of the children only. But this time was different. They wanted to EXIST in their family portraits and they wanted their children to be able to look back at these precious photos and not only see what mum and dad looked like back then but to show the special bond and connection they shared. When it came to their same day viewing of their final portraits in my photography studio mum was blown away. The tears were flowing uncontrollably and she was overcome with emotion at seeing just how wonderful the photos had turned out. All I kept hearing her say was " wow " "I love it, I love that one, love that one". The tear started to flow uncontrollably and the tissues were in hand. Once the presentation of all the portraits had finished mum was speechless. She just couldn't believe how amazing all the photos turned out. What made the day for me was when this beautiful mama gave me a huge hug as she was leaving and said "thank you so much for these stunning photos, they mean the absolute world to me" This right there, is the exact reason why I am SO passionate about what I do and why I absolutely LOVE my job with my whole heart. Because I genuinely believe that high quality family portraiture changes people's lives. It not only gives perspective to people in times when life can seem so busy and chaotic, but it literally freezes moments in time so you can look back years later and relive that moment again and again. I cannot urge parents enough to be involved in their next professional baby or family session. Better yet, instead of being in the shadows and an afterthought, be at the forefront of these photos! Be the one who's smiling adoringly at your baby so that when he is older he will have actual printed proof of just how much you loved him and how present you were in his life; even if you felt tired, frumpy and overwhelmed. Because at the end of the day all he will see is YOUR admiration and love. And when you think about it these photos aren't really just for you. They are for your children to pass down for generations to come. So they can say this is what family is all about! Stace x
