Exisitng in Portraits for your children.........

 

How important is family portraits to you?  How important do you think it will be 20 years from now when your kids are grown?  How important do you think it will be in 40 years from now when you are older and so are your kids?  How important will it be 60 years from now to your children? 

 

For me, being in my 30's and no longer having my Dad with me, I wish I had something like this with my family back then!  Yes we have photos of some of us in front of Stone Mountain, well 3 of us, someone had to take the picture.  Yes we have pictures of us visiting Pikes Peak, again 3 of us.  Many other places too but never something that was taken just to hang on the wall, just to display and then save for later years. 

 

I am sure that is the same for many families back then and now!  It is time to make a change!  Family portraits are something that should be put on the top of your list.  If you can't do it every year, then do it every other year.  Kids grow fast, too fast!  I know this too well!  My oldest is about to be 16!  YES 16! It is crazy!

 

In his almost 16 years of life we have had 3 family portraits.  THREE and I am a photographer!  Yes I have taken pictures of him alone almost EVERY month from the time he was born or with his brother and sister, but never a full family portrait.  I never thought of putting myself in the mix, always some reason why I didn't want to be in the picture. My husband, now that is a different story.  Let us just say he takes great photo bomb style pictures. 

 

Below is our last family portrait.

 

Soon you will see the current one.
