Dana Point Family Photographer || Why I am super picky with our own family photos.
Last week I confirmed our involvement in a model call with my absolute favorite photographer of all time. Like for real. I did a happy dance in my bathroom when it finally all worked out! So excited you guys! Katie of Katielamb.com is not only adorable but her images are like magic! They sparkle and offer the bright and vibrant look I love!
We don’t have our family photos done very often and I’ll explain why! First of all, you have to understand I love family photos and we take selfies ALLLLL the time! But selfies aren’t for our walls, selfies aren’t for Christmas cards, selfies are for our own enjoyment and we love to look at them… on our phones. I want wall art. I want big gorgeous albums.
My family does NOT enjoy family photos, my hubby complains big time, the boys grumble and whine, Poppy usually yells (that’s normal though 😉). That means when we do commit to family photos, I am going to be 1000% confident in the photographer I choose. I’ve had hundreds of newbie photographers offer to take our photos for free and honestly I just can’t. I can’t put my family through that type of stress and drama for mediocre photos or even beautiful photos. If they’re not my style, meaning I won’t print them for my walls, I’m not doing it even for free.
You should be that picky too! Be 1000% confident with the photographer you choose, make sure they’re honest, reliable, and that you’ve seen entire galleries (not just their curated Instagram feed). I’m always happy to send you out entire galleries for any given session, just ask!
Anyways as I’m getting ready for our family photos it just made me want to yell that from the rooftops. I sincerely hope that each client I have is this excited to book with me. I hope they dream about our session and I hope are equally in love with their outcome!
