Everyone has hauled out old photo albums or looked at a family portrait hanging on the wall. Don't the memories instantly fill your brain, bringing up all those good feelings that surrounded everyone at that time.
Doesn’t everyone start sharing stories about the people in the photographs, or the personalities of those people? “remember when Jimmy did this”, or “remember how Grandma acted when…”, or any of those fond memories and humorous incidents that happen in, and, for every family? And why does everyone remember these times so differently? But it is still so much fun to share them.
That's why its so important to take pictures; to have family portraits taken EVERY YEAR! People change so quickly. Even if you think you aren't changing, your hair and clothing styles change. Kids change the way they like to dress, one year it is super casual, only jeans; just a short year later they could be in colored hair or in dresses.
Your little boy that is shorter than you this year, may be two inches taller than you next year or the little girl that only wants to sit in daddy’s lap this year, may not want to next year. It is important to capture those moments (and memories!).
Remember that saying "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Well, if pictures are worth a thousand words, then surely they are also worth a million memories!
When was the last time you had a family portrait taken? Schedule one today, preserve those memories for tomorrow!
