<\/p>\nFamily photos tell stories.\u00a0\u00a0 We all take tons of photos of our families throughout the year – playful ones of the kids, the first day of school,\u00a0 spaghetti face in the highchair, prom, sporting events and, of course, an attempt at a formal one for the annual Christmas card.\u00a0 One picture\u00a0is just a slice\u00a0of\u00a0 life, but the\u00a0whole collection\u00a0of pictures starts to show a story of the family itself.<\/p>\n
As a photographer for many years now, and as a mom, I appreciate all types of photography, from the candid fun shots to the formally posed family portrait.\u00a0\u00a0 Looking back on vintage family photos is fun and gives us a glimpse into the past.\u00a0 I notice the posing, the expressions (some of those really old ones are sooooo serious) and the overall surroundings and backgrounds.\u00a0\u00a0 These old photos become treasured family heirlooms.\u00a0 And we continue to add to our family’s history, showing how we have grown and changed and how we interact with one another…<\/p>\n
bringing\u00a0us to the family portraits of today.\u00a0 There are so many choices for professional family photos\u00a0– in the studio you can choose from a formal grouping, a contemporary playful sitting, and a variety of backgrounds.\u00a0 In North Dakota, especially, a variety of indoor options is appealing because of our crazy weather.\u00a0 Outdoors we have choices from the family farm, parks and other scenic areas that may be important to your family.\u00a0 And again, outdoor portraits can range between formal to playful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So many times I have heard (ugh, and have heard myself say it), that “it has been forever since our last family photo”.\u00a0 Don’t let the time slip by. These photos will always be treasured – now and in the future.\u00a0 Someday, you will sit around the old family album and reminisce and enjoy all the memories these photos will bring back…..<\/p>\n
