Will we get the perfect smiles?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Absolutely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll make sure you have the portraits grandma will frame, the ones that make the Christmas card, and the images you’ll proudly hang on your walls.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you ask what our favorites usually are…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the little moments in between.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way your toddler instinctively curls into your side.
The glance you didn’t know anyone noticed.
The tiny hands reaching for reassurance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those aren’t moments we ask you to create.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re moments we create space for.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because years from now, you’ll be grateful for the smiling-at-the-camera portrait.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you’ll *feel* something every time you see the image that reminds you exactly what it was like to be their safe place ♥️
Now you tell us… what do you prefer? More posed smiles or candid moments? Poll in comments!
