Professional Photos, Children and Social Media

Let’s talk social media for a moment. Do I love it? Yes! It’s one of tools I use most often to spread news about my business to clients. Do I see the downside in it? Absolutely!

We all love to share our lives on social media. Had a fun, delicious brunch with friends? Post it! Took a trip with beautiful landscapes? Snap a picture of that view and post it! Capturing those precious moments and immortalizing them for the world to see has become the norm.

I recently had a mama (who also happens to be one of my very best friends) let me know that she was going to stop posting photos of her kiddos full face on social media. It’s something the two of us have discussed in length since we both have very public business pages, and I am so proud of her for making this decision for her family.

I photograph this family fairly often and was very open to this change for her family. As your photographer, it is my job to capture not only the photos you want to see on your walls, but the ones you’d like to share with others as well.

Our first session together after she made this decision has probably been one of my favorite sessions to date. I stopped worrying so much about getting everyone’s face in the frame and focused more on capturing the true connection between family members.

If this is a decision you are considering making for your family, I’m on board! Book your session with me today and let’s capture this beautiful phase of life you are in.
