Why You Should Exist In Photo's With Your Children

Your Grown Children Will Want Photos Of You

It wasn’t until I became a Mother, that I became really curious about my childhood. That was when I wanted to go back and look at photos of me with my Mother and Father because I could finally relate to their experience. I loved seeing the photos of my mother holding me as a baby, the way she snuggled me and looked at me, and what she dressed us in. I loved seeing photos of me and my father hanging out on the couch, tickling me, holding me while I slept. The fashion, the decor, the connection between me and them. Your kids will grow up and ask you for photos of you and them, from their early years. This is exactly why its so important for you to exist in photographs. So make some time for portraits NOW, before it’s too late. There will never be a better time than today!

Children Love To See Pictures Of Their Parent’s

If you don’t get in the photos for you, do it for your children. They will want to look back over the moments shared, the adventures together, at the way our eyes lit up when we were looking at them. They will want to look back and see how loved they were. Our children will love to look back at these photos years to come, and will be amazed at how young we looked, what clothes we wore, and what actives we used to do with them.

It Doesn’t Matter What You Look Like

Of course, we (the parents) are the ones constantly taking pictures of our children, of the precious moments that we don’t want to forget. If we do end up in the photo, we typically don’t love the way we look- messy hair, makeup undone, or clothes we don’t deem photo acceptable. We delete them quickly. I encourage Mom’s and Dad’s to include themselves in photos. Not only at home, with your phone photos, but to also invest in a family photographer to document your connection together. Stop worrying how you look, your children won’t be concerned with all that, they will just want to remember you. They are going to want to look back at their Mother and Father’s face’s, and remember.
