3 Reasons You Shouldn’t Delay in Having Family Portraits Taken

Family Photo Session | Grand Junction Colorado Photographer

Are you ready for a staggering fact? Only 1 out of 100,000 pictures that are digitally taken today will ever be printed out. That means all of those pictures you have taken of your newborn baby and your family as they grow are most likely going to be lost forever eventually. So, the generation that is being photographed the most will actually have the least amount of printed pictures

As a parent that can be an upsetting thought. But, you most likely know it’s true because you have tons of digital pictures and very few that are printed out. If you are like most people you have good intentions of getting family pictures taken, but still haven’t taken the time to setup an appointment.

Here are three reasons it’s important to have pictures taken now:

1. They are only little for so long

Your children are growing up quickly. It’s easy to think that you will remember exactly what they looked like at the age they are right now because every parent thinks that. But, as they grow it’s hard to remember exactly what their chubby toddler cheeks looked like or the mischievous look that they always had in their eye. When you look back at photos of your children when they were young you will never regret the money that you spent.

2. You Need to be in Pictures WITH Your Children

Rarely do families get pictures with everyone in it because you need someone to take the pictures. And, what usually happens is the mom takes the pictures and ends up with very few pictures of herself with her children. Does that sound familiar? It is important for your children to have pictures with you. Even if you don’t like being included in photos because you don’t like the way you look, your child will. And, it will be the way for them to look back on their childhood. A common complaint that adults have when their parents pass away is not having enough pictures together capturing their memories. They have lots of photos of themselves as children, but they want pictures of themselves with their parents. Have pictures taken with your children.

3. Quality Photographs Capture Personality
Photographs do not only capture the physical aspect of your family and what they look like, an experienced photographer will know how to capture the personality of your family in your photographs. These images make the most precious keepsakes. Many people work carefully to make sure that everyone is looking at the camera and smiling for each picture, but the candid pictures can be the ones that show the life of your family. Pictures should be fun and show the love and connection between each family member. At Csilla Leonard Photography I make sure to capture your personalities to create pictures that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Does scheduling your family portraits seem like something that can be handled at another time? They are easy to continue pushing off until they never happen and you will never get this day back. Schedule a session today to capture your beautiful family at this moment in time.
