One mother's story ..."I’ve never forgotten an invaluable piece of advice that I heard from an older friend right after my first child was born. She told me, “One of my greatest regrets about my children's childhood was that I didn’t have more professional pictures taken.” “You didn’t take many pictures?” I asked. “I took tons of pictures,” she said, “but the fact is, professional photographs are so much better than even the best snapshots.” I absolutely agree—professional photos are better. While it’s a lot of fun (and also a pain) to take pictures myself, it’s terrific to have some pictures that are truly excellent. These photos don’t take the place of the on-the-spot pictures that I take myself — but these pictures memorialize my children’s childhoods in a different way.
Plus they make great family gifts. I can never figure out a good present for the grandparents and great-grandparents, but they always love to get a really great photograph—especially the relatives who don’t often get a chance to see the kids in person. It’s a splurge, of course. Professional photos aren’t cheap. However, I figure that the money I spend on these photographs will strengthen family bonds, enhance happy memories, and capture the fleeting moments of childhood. They give me more pleasure than practically any other purchases that I make. That strikes me as pretty good happiness bang for the buck. Have you ever had your child's professional photograph taken? Did you think it was worth the expense and trouble?" Categories: |
