Five Reasons You Should Book A Portrait Shoot TodayAh, the selfie. The portrait that most of us take from time to time that serves as proof that most of us have a desire to be photographed in some shape or form. Lets face it. We want photos of ourselves. We want to make memories and use photography as an aid to capture moments in time. Why settle for jacked up, cell phone selfies? You're better than that. You're worth more. With that said, here are five reasons why you should ditch the selfie and book your legitimate portrait session today. 1) You will never again be who you are today.None of us are getting any younger. But this isn't a bad thing. Life moves forward and we roll with it. I am an advocate of living in the now and documenting the present. But I also acknowledge that there will come a time of reflection, a time when I will want to go back and mentally relive my past. Having images of yourself at certain parts of your life will serve as a reminder, years from now when it is time to have that big retrospective, of who you were throughout your many stages of life. The clock is ticking and, sadly, time machines haven't yet hit the shelves of your local electronics chain. You will never again be who you are today. Don't take it for granted. 2) Portraits are your legacy.Sue Bryce says, "Exist in photos." Sure, everyone wants an amazing portrait of themselves. But, you aren't the only person who wants to have stunning images of your likeness. Portraits are your legacy and will survive once you are long gone. A portrait session will ensure that your children (and your children's children) will have a glimpse of who you once were and will be tremendously grateful for those visual keepsakes. 3) Portraits allow for self expressionPeople chose to express themselves in many ways. Wether through dance, song, or art, we all long to give the world a glimpse of our soul. Portraiture is another form of self-expression. As a client, you determine how you will be seen in your portraits. Feeling somber and isolated? Craft a session that details your experience. Feeling sexy? Book a high-key boudoir session. Feeling mysterious or confident? Book a fashion-inspired portrait shoot. Making photographs allows you the opportunity to express what is often hard to put into words. 4) Being photographed relates the sense of importance.From time to time, we all feel unworthy. Sometimes we feel like we don't deserved to be treated well or that others' needs are more important than our own. The truth is the opposite. You hold worth and are worthy. Stepping in front of the camera proves that you are valuable as a person and that you deserve to feel important (because you are). Having your portrait made is empowering. Trust me, you' re worth it. 5) You don't have a legitimate reason not to.When I speak with others about portraits, the same lines always come up. People always say that they don't have enough time, money, or energy to have a portrait session. I call BS. As the saying goes, there is always a million reasons not to do something. But the reality of it all is that you don't have a legitimate reason not to book a session. Money comes and goes and time commitments will, if anything, only become more intense. Your excuses are simply that, excuses. Still not convinced? Contact me and I will give you another five reasons why you should reserve your portrait session today. More On the Blog |
