One of the reasons I think hiring a professional photographer is so important is because I know that in my personal life I am so neglectful when it comes to photographing, printing and album making. I have friends and family who are really good about printing photos the same month (gasp!) that they take them and scrap-booking or putting them in albums within the same year. I know that many of you out there aren't that diligent either. We are at work and sleeping for the vast majority of our hours and the time that is left is so precious. I think it's really important to take the time to invest in a good, professional photographer to remember stages in life or important events. A photographer can not only capture images of your family your tripod can't, but turn those images into art for your wall or an elegant album to cherish for years to come. In the end you'll gain more time with those you love and less time in front of the computer on the weekends.
Below is a shoot I did for a 12 going on 13 year old. I'm so thankful that his mom commissioned me for this shoot, because it made me realize what an important age this is to capture. So much focus in youth photography is devoted to babies, toddlers and high school seniors. I found twelve was such a intriguing age. While editing his shoot I kept finding images that you could see both the little boy that he once was and the man that he will become.
Wow-this is such an amazing group of photos. I really love the colors, the subtleties, the details. You did such an awesome job & this cutie has an amazing poise!
