It's about that time of year again. Fall is officially HERE!!!! :D and you know what that means... it's family picture season!! It's my favorite time of the year. That means boots and leggings and oversized sweaters and scarves. It means hot chocolate and lattes, apple cider and bonfires. It means snuggling up on the couch with loved ones while watching a movie. It's the time of year that is spent with family by our sides, and what better way to capture that than family pictures. They're awesome. The leaves are falling, the colors are changing. The snow starts to fall (i actually really love taking pictures in the snow but no one wants to bear the cold HA! even though i don't blame them, it would still be fun!)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not wait to book your family session for this fall. It doesn't matter if you want your pictures taken in late October or even in November, book NOW! That way, you're not stuck with no pictures, or even if you just make the cut off, at least book them so you know for certain that your pictures will be edited and back to you in time for Christmas and to get them on some Christmas cards. Some people will take this really lightly, and that's fine, but Fall is one of the busiest seasons for photographers. While everyone gets to spend loads of time with their families, we get to capture that :) So don't wait, or you might regret it. Book now, I can't wait for this season to begin. Fun, candid, un-posed, bonding, captured by me. That's something you won't regret: the memories. After it's all said and done, the memories are all you have left. You can't take back time, you can't change things that have already happened, but you CAN capture you and your family in the moment, doing what you love to do.
I hate to even bring up this subject because it shouldn't ever be an issue: everyone is beautiful. Don't let the way you THINK you look, keep you from getting those memories captured, because like I said, when it's all said and done, you only have the memories. Who cares if you think you need to lose those 5 pounds, don't wait because life it too short. It can be taken from you in an instance. So do it before it's gone :)
These are just SOME of my favorite family pictures I've taken.
How could you pass up an opportunity to cherish these moments with the ones you love? DON'T pass it up, I promise you'll have fun. My sessions are relaxed and fun, and I promise to leave you with images you will love forever and will want to BLOW UP on your walls at home!
