My why of being on a mission to show others the value of family portraits:
I am in the unique position where I have lost my entire immediate family way too early. Portraits of my family helped me through some of the hard times whilst grieving. They allowed me to keep the memory of my family alive.
When one day I woke up and all I had left of my family were their portraits, that’s when I developed the appreciation of their momentousness.
In turn, I then sought to change the perception of others of the value they bring to our lives globally having also taken family portraits in Europe.
When considering portraits there are 2 questions we should reflect upon;
1/ Should something happen to my loved ones, what do I have to remind me of them and;
2/ How do I wish for my loved ones to remember me?
Family portraits with LA Photography include:
A family session with LA Photography is a session full of special moments designed to bring you together. You see, as you know a family life is a busy one jam packed into daily routines. Wouldn’t it be nice to step out of that just for a day to spend simply enjoying it with the family focused on only each other?
We offer:
~ Maternity portraits.
~ Newborn portraits (I am professionally trained by one of the most globally acclaimed Newborn photographers).
~ Generational portraits.
~ Cake smash portraits (please note, these are only done for children 2 and over).
In Maternity and family portraits, you will be full pampered with professional makeup artists and a stunning wardrobe to choose from for both women and children.
A common resistance from mum’s?:
“Just a couple of the kids please..... no need for me to be in front of the camera thanks....” and mum’s, this is my response to you;
Mum’s I hear you. Mum’s often share a common fear with me they don’t feel good enough to exist in front of the camera. Instead I ask them to trust me that my role is to show them their best selves- no matter their age, weight or height. I’m simply here to show you your best self, and this does not require being photogenic.
I ask you to let me show you just how beautiful you are to your family.
It is my intention to show you through the eyes of your children. You are their hero, and all they want is exactly what you want for them- your happiness.
Let me ask you what your children will find should they search for a portrait of you? What would you like for them to find? How about we get to work to create exactly that?
At different stages of our life, we feel compelled to search for our personal History. Portraits allow you to tell your family story. What is that for you and what will yours say? How would you like to change what it currently says?
At LA Photography, you only buy what you love. Therefore, if that is only that one special portrait you know you will love for generations to come, then individual wall portraits are available.
Exciting new service coming soon: A subscription service for those families who need regular, ongoing content for their social media. Examples can include when families are undergoing changes such as Maternity- Newborn or when families are on holiday or family run businesses.
Personal Branding:
The focus is on the words personal and branding. What do you want your brand to say? Your personal branding sessions will be purely focused around the message and voice of your brand.
You will be completely pampered and styled accordingly with a makeover and a stunning wardrobe to choose from.
Video messages to your audience may also be filmed should they be required. Examples maybe for About me in your website or interview (s).
In studio or on location.
Exciting new service coming soon: A subscription service for those professionals who need regular, ongoing content for their social media so their clients can see themselves at work and what to expect.
Beauty Portraits:
How do you want others to see you? One example is a client who was a breast cancer survivor. She decided she wanted a beautiful portrait of herself to display on the wall so she could honour her femininity.
In your beauty portrait sessions you are completely pampered with a makeover by a professionally qualified makeup artist. A stunning couture wardrobe is also available for you to be styled in the way that is just right for you.
There are many reasons why women should consider professional portraits no matter the stage of life they are at. Perhaps they have gone through a recent surgery, they maybe a cancer survivor and wish to celebrate life.
In the Media, we are lead to believe that women 50 and over should not exist in front of the camera unless they are in un- flattering advertising.
At LA Photography we do not share this view and we love working with women of all ages, weights, heights, Ethnicities, colour.
At LA Photography, a portrait is a portrait Celebrating you at this stage of your life and we look forward to creating this experience for you.
