As a portrait photographer, one of the most common things we hear from people is that they are waiting for a special occasion in order to book their photo shoot, such as an anniversary, birthday or some other significant milestone. Having a professional portrait session should be viewed as a special occasion in and of itself! Below are our top 5 reasons why booking a photo shoot right now may be one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Reason 1: With today’s hectic lifestyles, it is so easy to get so caught up in our daily routines that we completely forget about ourselves. Taking the time to indulge yourself with a photo shoot is a great way of reconnecting with you, a connection that most of us sorely lack. Your time in studio will be full of fun and allow you to feel confident and shine! It’s time to celebrate you. Pamper yourself and prepare to be made to look and feel beautiful, because you are!
Reason 2: A portrait photo shoot allows you to create and capture special memories that you can look back on fondly for many years to come. Irrespective of whether you are in your late teens to twenties, or in your seventies, it simply doesn’t matter! Everyone has a story to tell and this is what professional portrait photography aims to capture and convey. Portraits and photographs are something that most often get passed through your family from generation to generation, valued heirlooms, and as such gain sentimental value as time goes on. This isn’t just a gift to yourself, it’s a gift to those you love and treasure as well.
Reason 3: Many people feel more comfortable by including a spouse or significant other in their portrait session. This is a great way to add another dimension to your photo shoot. You can include some portraits individually and some together, creating lasting memories that you can both share. This ensures a fun-filled photographic experience that you will both thoroughly enjoy.
Reason 4: Your portraits, apart from the obvious emotional and self-esteem lift, also allow you some more practical day-to-day benefits too. Most people in today’s age have a ‘digital life’ that is made up of online profiles including Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google Plus to name just a few. Your portraits help define this digital identity, and these help portray yourself to the world. So whether you are looking to appear professional or casual and approachable, professional portraits are the perfect way to achieve this!
Reason 5: None of us are getting any younger! Sadly, most of us will never look any better than we currently do. Fortunately, though, with today’s digital retouching technology, bumps and blemishes can be removed to leave you looking your best. So by booking your session now, not in another 5 years, you will create artistic and contemporary portraits that together with your desired level of retouching will leave you brimming with pride and confidence!
