3 Big Reasons Why You Should Take Your Family For A Professional Photography Session

Taking your troops along to a photography studio might seem like a daunting task at first. Will everyone behave? Will the kids refuse to smile? Will they kick up a fuss? These are all questions you might ask yourself, however, if you choose the right photography company, this shouldn’t be a worry.

Professional photography can actually be heaps of fun for every family member – even the grumpy dads and grandads.t

It might seem like too much trouble to try and get everyone out the door in their smart attire. But once you’re there and see the photos captured, it will be completely worth it.

As mums or dads, we all capture family memories whilst we are out and about on our phones. The pictures taken, though, can end up never being seen again. With our phones basically having our whole lives on them these days.

Professional photography makes up for this as it allows you to capture important milestones and provides you with beautiful images that will last a lifetime.

You can put them up around your home, send them out to the extended family, make them into a Christmas card… the opportunities are endless!

Let’s have a look at some of the other special reasons why every parent should prioritise professional photography every now and again…

Children feel valued

Research has actually shown that children from families that put photos around the home tend to be happier in general.

This is because seeing themselves as part of the family unit naturally reinforces their SELF-CONFIDENCE. It makes them feel valued as a family member.

A lovely thought, right? As parents, our biggest worry is our children’s happiness. So heading along to a family photoshoot is a fun activity that will provide plenty of photos to put up around the home.

Professional photography doesn’t have to involve your family dressing up or using silly props! It can be clean and simple, with the focus being on each family member’s personality.

This is the type of photography that Nousha carry out, where in each image the parent and child’s individual character shines through.

Their child photography is all done in black and white, so the focus is always on what matters most – the people within.

Capture important milestones

Another reason why professional photography with your family is important is for capturing milestones and/or growth. Our youngsters grow far too quickly and you don’t want to forget any of the silly phases or stages that they go through.

If you have more than one child, you will know how difficult it is to keep up with our children’s growth spurts. On top of this, the ever-changing family dynamics, as your children figure out whether they want to be friends or not (eventually they will be).

By taking your family along to a studio, you can capture all your children’s funny habits and changing family dynamics over the years, but in a professional way.

It’s not just about your children’s growth either, as parents, we go through ups and downs and grow ourselves, both physically and mentally. Having these changes captured on camera is important to see how far you have come.

More permanent

Last but not least, the images of your family that come out of professional photography are far more permanent by nature than photos taken on a smartphone.

This is largely due to the amazing quality and professional setting that studios provide for family photography.

You are also paying a significant amount of money for professional photography, so you don’t want the end results to go to waste – plaster the photos on every wall of your home if you can.

There is no doubt that you and your family will love the images and that they will be passed down generations, the same simply can’t be said for photos taken on an iPhone!

At the end of the day, going for some professional photography is not something that can be done regularly and it would be unnecessary to do so.

The main thing to take away from this is that every once in a while, it is important to capture family milestones professionally – it is worth every penny.
