Mom, You’re Perfect Now for Family Photos | Woodstock, ON
Our family photos are the most treasured items in our lives. Long after we’re gone, our photos will tell our stories and keep our memories alive. Taking the time for family portraits is one of the best things you can do for your family. However, if you tend to shy away from being in photos because you’re worried about how you look, you are far from alone.
Your family photos aren’t just for you, they are for your children and even your grandchildren. My children LOVE the photos that my Nan took of my dad. They have precious images of their grandpa because of the effort she made.
Today, I want to support how you’re feeling and assure you that you are perfect as you are right now for family photos. As a Woodstock family photographer, I want to offer a few tips to help you feel ready for family portraits.
How to Feel Ready for Family Photos
Here are a few ways you can feel ready for family photos.
Imagine Your Family Portrait Artwork (and Who Will See It) - I want you to dream about your future portrait artwork. Is it a family gallery wall in your living room? One that you can add to over the years? Is it a custom heirloom album that holds the images of your beautiful family? I love asking my clients who they want to display their images. It’s great to hear what they’re thinking and why. Now take a moment to imagine who will get to see these images. It’ll be your children, grandchildren, and maybe even your great-grandchildren. Your future generations will hold these images close and treasure them.
Find Wardrobe - Find an outfit that will feel flattering and comfortable for you. I believe our clothing should fit us and not the other way around. As a full-service photographer, my clients have access to my growing client wardrobe with dresses in different colours, styles, and sizes. I’m sure I would have something that would look amazing on you!
Professional Hair and Makeup - Book professional hair and makeup for your family portrait session. It might feel like an indulgence, but it’s really not. You deserve to be pampered and styled so that you feel confident and ready to rock your session. All of my portrait sessions include hair and makeup for mom!
Work with a Photographer You Can Trust - Find a photographer whose work you love and that you trust. It’s one thing to love a photographer’s portfolio, but you need someone that can support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m here to listen and help you.
Let it Go and Enjoy Your Family - On the session day, choose to relax and let it all go. You are investing in this amazing experience with your family. Take this time to soak in the moment and just enjoy. Look around and think about something you’re grateful for. The happier and more relaxed you feel, the more beautiful the images will be.
