Day in the Life Portraits

My father-in-law just sent me this article he found on msnbc's website and I thought I would share my thoughts on the subject of hiring a photographer for a long term assignment such as documenting your baby's first year.

The article is really quite good, you should read it.

I've done a few family birth stories and they're really quite incredible. Bringing in a professional photographer to photograph your kids every three months makes a lot of sense.

First off, you get a pro that can capture those moments like no other and on top of that, YOU get to be in the photos too. I know for example with my own kids, I take LOTS of photos of my son Cam and his little sister Paige, but RARELY do you ever see a picture of ME. Well, that's because I'm the photographer. When you hire a professional photographer to come in and capture your lives, you are given the great opportunity to be a complete family on film (well, digital film :) ).

We can capture you interacting with your kids, walking in the park, playing on the beach, running in the woods, hiking up a mountain, skiing, snuggling on the couch, you get the idea. It's those moments that are so very special in the lives of our families and it's an awesome challenge to capture them for my clients - I love it.

Anyway, I'd love to hear from you if you're interested in booking a session like this with me. Ring me at the studio and we can discuss your ideas.

In God's grace,

Jeff
