As I've developed my photographic style and taste, I've come to greatly dislike studio photography ... perhaps even a bit unfairly. I much prefer shots that are on location in an element that says something more about the person in the picture and lets them let loose a bit.
I do not plan on purchasing my kids' school pictures. Why should I let myself fall into the rut of having new pictures only once a year that are framed and hung in the hallway or put up on the mantle of the fireplace? I plan on having pictures taken much more often, and never with a painted canvas in the background ... ick. I would much rather have fun, dynamic, outdoor portraits that reflect and follow the seasons. Pictures more often is so worth it! You end up with a better catalog of how your family has changed over time, and it's something fun to go out and do together.
It is very important to me to ensure we have family pictures that document our lives - I've always got a camera handy when Leila, my fiancee, and I do something together. I'm not always taking loads of pictures, but it sure is nice to have around. Compiling these pictures and organizing them on my computer makes it simple to go back and share in the memories. At the end of each year, I turn our adventures into a video album. When that time comes, you've got plenty of shots to choose from and work with! It's just "one of them things." By always having the camera handy, you add into your annual collection a little at a time. At the end of twelve months, you've got a treasure trove of images to sift through and create lasting memories.
Pictures don't have to be a pain! Visit my website for pricing on portrait sessions and DVD albums.
