Family Photographer: Saving Memories

Are you one of those people who try to get that perfect family portrait by doing it yourself?  Yet, it seems that there is always one child looking the other way making a silly face or better yet crying their little eyes out.  Hiring a family photographer has so many great benefits that it seems almost silly not to hire one, right?

There is so much that goes into the “perfect” family portrait for example the lighting, the time to get the pictures taken, the smiles, the poses, the landscape, editing and the angle.  A family photographer, such as LaBella Vita Photography, takes all the concern and time out of capturing your memories.  The word time well that is the key word.  The time it takes for a do it yourself is so much more than a professional family photographer.   When you do it yourself you are focused on trying to make the kids laugh or behave, having everyone focus, look at the camera, all while you are running trying to get into the shot before the timer goes off.  The whole process is wearing and the product is not always worth the aggravation, plus going the free route means no editing, and editing can make a huge difference in the final product.  This is more than a family shot at a party, this is a keepsake that you can look at for years to come so investing in a professional family photographer once a year to save the memories forever is more than worth the investment.

Family Photographer: Why hire a professional?

If you hire a family photographer their time is dedicated to getting that perfect shot to take all the stress and sometimes craziness off of your shoulders for that moment. They can easily combine two pictures where your child’s smile was perfect to a shot where your child’s body was turned slightly.  LaBella Vita Photography is dedicated to the perfect shot and photographer, Jennifer Smith, is super talented with Photoshop to ensure that the finished product is perfect.  A great family photographer knows that it isn’t easy to get the perfect family shot, but knows how to edit the imperfect to make it perfect.  Facts being facts, kids around the ages of infant to 8 don’t care much for taking a group shot.  Understandably so, because they are in the frame of mind that being the center of attention is super important to their little selves, so we work with them to make them feel special yet not take away from the rest of the picture.  LaBella Vita Photography takes a family shot that will with stand the test of time and really make an impression.

A Family Photographer is so important to any family. Just having those special moments paused in time is something that will always be cherished.  Now it may be hard to call and hire a photographer when you feel you can do it yourself, but hiring a professional will only make the image much more impressionable for the future.  There are so many great points to hiring a professional, especially for family photos.  Remember family portraits aren’t supposed to be stiff and stuffy, they are supposed to be full of laughter and life and having someone else take the reins and get it done will make it just that much more enjoyable as well as offer you pictures that will be breathtaking.
