I had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest family recently. Adorable R. is having his upsherin soon and while the focus was mostly on him, we also did some family portraits. You can just feel the love radiating from their portraits.
I always love when the parents join in the session. Although many times our inclination as moms (and dads too) is to shy away from being in photos, its just really special to have a beautiful family portrait that stops time and captures your family as you are right now…Some people say, oh but then what happens when the family grows and changes? And that, I feel, is precisely the reason TO do family portraits right now. Because your family will never be the same as you are right now! Time passes and you lose the opportunity to capture the now.
The E. family ordered a beautiful wall display featuring a big family portrait in middle and then two smaller ones on the sides of R. with his mom and R. with his dad… and I’m sure they will feel happy every time they walk into the room and see it hanging there.
