Us family photographers can sometimes make mums feel guilt over family photos. And sometimes the intention behind it isn't unkind. After photographing hundreds of families, we see first hand what these images come to mean over the years. And a part of us feels a sort of a duty to remind you why they matter so much.
In reality, for some families, family photography just isn't at the top of the list right now, and that is completely okay. Sometimes school fees come first. Sometimes it's the holiday, the dance lessons, the hundred other things that keep a family going. Your priorities are yours, and they DO NOT make you a bad mum.
But if you are someone who genuinely yearns for beautiful photographs of her family, I'll say this...
Life is short, and it is not just about the practical stuff. Life's also about experiences and things whose sole purpose is to make your heart swell, beat and dance. It is ok to want to be in the frame, held and remembered by the people who love us. And there should be no shame in that either.
Art, joy, beauty, wonder, the 'impractical' things that make us feel good, a sense of belonging...we need them too. Why? because they have the power to rejuvenate our mundane, sometimes tired and weary days. Life would be pointless without them...wouldn't you say?
If your heart has been yearning for this, I'd love for you to reach out whenever you feel ready.
With love,
Suri
