Why Should You Invest in Photography?




Hey guys!
I know the economy is rough on alot of us right now and many are struggling to find ways to pay their bills or put food on the table. You may wonder with the current economic woes why one should make an investment in portraiture. Well, I have the answer for you!
Bad times come and go. Money ebbs and flows. BUT you have only one chance at life! Your newborn is only going to have the brand new sweet wrinkly look for a few weeks, your one year old is only going to be in that wobbly walking stage briefly and your five year old's two front teeth are going to grow back in and he will never (hopefully) lose those two teeth again. Your son is only going to go to his junior prom one time in his whole life. Your eighteen year old is changing right before your eyes and this is the only time you can catch them right at the cusp of adulthood, while they are still belong to both you and the world before them. Your family is changing rapidly...how much longer can you wait to capture this moment?
Unlike that plasma TV you have your eye on, you can not ever, EVER, go back in time and catch these moments. You only have now, this moment to catch the look of wonder in your baby's eyes when they are examining that ladybug. You can never go back and photograph that shy grin of your four year old.
The only constant in life is that everything changes. That plasma TV, that new Mustang, that designer purse...they will all be here tomorrow, newer and better. But not your child, not your family and not this moment.
Take the time. Make the effort. And, yes, make the investment.
Unlike the tangible and the ordinary, good portraiture is forever. Let me help you create your family heirlooms.
I am including a photograph of Sam who is so proud to have lost his two front teeth and two of my favorite photos of my son and his date from the prom last night. Precious moments preserved forever....
