I’ve been fussing over what to say in this blog post for a day or so now, reading my old posts about families and seeing how I can convince more of you (the families who are reading this blog who have not yet had a portrait sessions with us) to contact us to photograph your families. At this time of year I usually write a 500-1500 word rant on the importance of family photos, but this year I am just going to keep it short and sweet because some of you just need a little push, and not a tearjerking essay written by yours truly. Here it is:
You are not too busy, it is not too difficult to coordinate schedules. No, you do not have time to do it later. Yes, this is a priority, and necessity, your responsibility, and a good enough reason. This is your life and it is your responsibility as parents, children and siblings to have this time in your lives captured in photographs. Not just because having a 20×24 inch canvas gallery print on your living room wall would look amazing, but because when your great grandchildren start asking about who you were and what you looked like, you will have something to leave behind for them.
Last month we photographed the Fatt family at their cottage in Muskoka, Ontario. This family photo shoot was a long time coming, a lot of planning and rescheduling due to weather went into this shoot. But it was worth the time, the wait, and all the planning it took to make it happen. We love these photos, they are fun, beautiful, and capture the Muskoka landscape and this amazing family. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and photograph you all. Thank you for choosing us to capture this time in your lives.
We hope you all love these photos!
Cheers
& Ryan
