Why Hire a Professional Photographer?
With the advent Instagram and photo editing apps, it’s easy to think we’re all great photographers. Crop, filter, print et viola! And let’s face it, our photography skills have certainly improved — or so our Internet friends tell us.
But honestly, there are events in one’s life such as the fleeting and precious newborn stage that simply should not be left to chance. Here are a three reasons to hire a professional.
1) Professionals can take photos of the entire family
Moms are notorious for taking a zillion photos of their kids but forgetting to include themselves (unless it’s a blurry selfie) let alone Daddio. A professional will ensure every one is “in the picture” and … drum roll please, you all look fantastic.
2) Great family photos raise kids self-esteem
Yes. Really! Hanging a beautiful family photo on a prominent place on the wall or a series of photos of mom, dad, siblings, family pets makes kids feel cozy and secure in their family unit. It’s a daily, visible reminder of how important they are to you.
3) Photographers are, well, a lot better that we are!
Professional photographers are in the business of capturing incredible, memorable images of important milestones in your family’s life. They know all about angles, focus, lighting and perspective, and they’ve learned from past mistakes. They take the time to communicate your family’s most beautiful, touching and happy moments.
In other words, never stop Instagramming, but hire a pro tell your family’s story in photos.
