As a local photographer, I may be a little bit partial to the need for family portraits. Being a mom of two, I take a picture of my babies every chance I get. I do it because I know they won't be babies forever, one day they will be grown and gone. I do it because I want to preserve this time with them. As much as it is for me, it's for them as well. Things they may or may not remember. What we wore, where we lived, how we loved. Sounds like a great plan, except for one major flaw. If I am always taking the photos, how can I be in them? Judging from Facebook and Instagram this is true for a lot of moms out there. By now you are probably wondering what the point of this article is. Consider this a PSA for moms and dads everywhere. Get yourself in those pictures too! It will be important to your children when they are grown to see their parents in the photos with them. We have to face it, we may not always be around. Try at least once a year to schedule a family photo session. As a photographer, I say get creative with it. Think of things that represent your family and incorporate it into those photos. Always wanted to be superheros? Do it! Wish you could get everyone dressed to the 9's? Schedule it!
