It is even hard for a photographer to get in the picture | Naperville Family Portrait Session

I totally get you. It can be so hard to get in front of the camera. Between "extra ten pounds," or the bad hair day, or the peanut butter on your shirt, there are plenty of excuses to avoid getting your picture taken.

What many of us fail to realize, is that especially to those that love us we are beautiful exactly as we are. There is nothing that needs to be fixed. Our love for our children is palpable. Twenty years from now when our kids are getting married or graduating college or curing cancer, we will be looking back at these photos and remembering the days when they wouldn’t let go of our hands. And we will be so glad that we had some pictures that captured that overwhelming, all-encompassing, unlimited love. Truly, photographs are investments that get more and more valuable with time. Let the world see how beautiful you are and how amazing motherhood is.

Since I am always behind the camera so I know how important these pictures are for my family too. I also invest in portraiture so that my family will also have these memories captures. This fall I hired a colleague to come out to Naperville and capture images of our sweet family.

This shoot also reminded me of how crazy it can feel to be prepared to be in front of a camera. This is why I now offer styling, hair, and makeup for every photo family session. Looking and feeling great in pictures doesn't need to be hard.
