Unconventional times to hire a photographer
Usually we think of hiring a photographer for pictures AFTER a big life change, like a baby being born or a new house or a wedding or a funeral.
But wouldn’t it be kinda cool to have pictures BEFORE the big life change?
The life you’re living right now is what’s actually happening. Yes, fun and frightening life changes are on the horizon. Some are known, some are unexpected. Maybe you’re excited, maybe not so much. But we can all agree that what we can count on is right now. The here and now. The present moment. And that change always happens.
Are you going to want to capture what life was like BEFORE everything changed?
When you had all the time in the world for your toddler with no undivided attention, when you’re enjoying your lived in, settled in, memory-filled home, when you can savor the weeks before your first child gets married knowing it won’t be just your original family ever again.
Before moving to a new house
Before the baby comes
Before or in the middle of a home renovation
Before your oldest goes to kindergarten
Before your youngest moves out of the house
Before the chemo starts
Before your parents move across country
Yes, these photos will quickly become “out of date” and “needing an update”. But they will preserve those special moments you had. When your new normal takes over, it will create more nostalgia and beauty to the photos of the past.
