We are a generation of picture-takers. Technology has been a blessing to our lives but it has been to our detriment as well. I have a handful of pictures of my grandparents and I cherish them and they are up in my home. I want my children to have pictures of me and I want my grandchildren to have pictures of my children. My great-grandchildren to have pictures of my grandchildren. A beautiful timeline of our history and lives are in these images. Once you begin to look at these as bigger than the moment, they become invaluable.
And let’s face it, every expecting mommy WANTS newborn portraits. It’s so tough to pass on this seemingly frivolous expense – but with all those lovely, raging hormones, it’s possible to keep our sanity with a photographer booked and ready.
