Why I Love Family Photography
Family photography holds a special place in my heart for numerous reasons. As a photographer, I am granted the privilege of capturing intimate moments and genuine emotions shared between family members. The images I create serve as timeless mementos that families can cherish for years to come.
There is something truly magical about witnessing the laughter, love, and bonds that families share during a photoshoot. Each session is a unique opportunity to freeze fleeting moments in time, creating a visual legacy that can be passed down through generations.
Through my lens, I have the privilege of documenting the growth of families, from maternity shoots to newborn sessions and beyond. Watching families evolve and grow together is a profoundly rewarding experience that never fails to inspire me.
Family photography allows me to celebrate the beauty of everyday moments - from a child's gleeful giggle to a parent's tender embrace. It is a constant reminder of the joy and connection that families bring into each other's lives.
In essence, I love family photography because it allows me to be a storyteller, capturing the essence of family dynamics and the beauty of love in its purest form. The ability to document these precious moments and create lasting memories is a privilege that I treasure deeply.
So capturing images is more than just a “job” that I do. It is something I am passionate about … capturing the beauty and magic of childhood and family life, freezing the moments of laughter and pure joy so that when you look back at these times, you can smile and truly feel the memories as if they were only yesterday. These babies turn into toddlers who turn into kids and then teens … in the blink of an eye Mamas! I know how fast it goes by because my once little boy who used to snuggle in my lap is now 16-years-old and thinking about college and a career! When I think about what I do, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude as though my heart will come out of my chest because the fact is that I love what I do and it is such a gift to be able to do what you love and share it with people who will treasure it for years to come.
In this particular case, I have captured this sweet family for the past five years! I’ve captured their maternity, newborn, girls and family sessions multiple times. There is something so sweet about getting to photograph families and children as they grow older.
