This year, I had a couple of those memories I would love to share: Here is the Awesome, Bad, the Great, and Have Fun:
The Awesome: In the past couple of weeks, there are a lot of things that have happened that a huge blessing. My Family is closer, we are able to give a lot to others, and we have had several things go in our favor. This past weekend my Best Friend CJ came to spend the holidays with me and my family, and it was awesome. We hung out, talked about a bunch of things, and really got a chance to take some snap shots of some really great moments. There is nothing like taking snapshots and fun pictures of different things going on, and having a great time doing it. If you would consider this though, make sure you get yourself in some of the pics, and if not hire or find someone who can help you share in the memories, and not just capture memories without you in them.
The Bad: Throughout the over 15 years I have been a photographer, a lot of my time has been spent in Photo Studios during the holidays. For a lot of people I know, its a tradition. But even though people get very good pictures, a lot of people tend to have a very bad time getting them done. When you go to a photo studio, like in a mall, there are a few things that you get in your Experience. You get to wait to long, you get to take a lot of rushed pictures, and you get a very big bill at the end of it all. When I worked at the studios, I was told I could only spend 10 mins in each session, no matter how good the pictures will turn out. Some people would spend 2 or 3 hours waiting to spend 10 mins doing something that they may not like, but have to settle for because they have no other choice. Why go through that when you can hire a Private and great Photographer to take all the time you want, as well as take a lot more pictures out of it for the same amount of money. If not Hire me, Research photographers in your area, check out their work, pricing, and please give yourself options.
The Great: This year I am proud to say that there are a lot of Firsts in our household. During the first part of this year, We bought a house, its a fixer upper that we can change and make it ours. Shortly after that we had a baby named Rebecca. And now, I am happy to say this Christmas is our First Christmas as a whole family. So Far it has been a blast, we get to go take pictures with Santa, decorate, put up lights on the house, and capture the joyous memories of this season. In addition, we got to take a picture in our living room, in front of our tree and send that picture to our friends and family. If you can, please take the time to capture these moments as I have on camera, weather its hiring a photographer to come out to your house and photograph these events, or its capturing them on your own camera, Please get as many pictures as you can.
Having Fun: OK, so here is me having fun.... I know it maybe a little dorky, but this is fun to me. I love my mom to death, she is one of the best women in my life, she has raised me to be the person I am today, and I am greatful to be able to spend every min. that I can with her. But when it comes to Technology, she is not Bill Gates... This year, we were able to buy her a Digital Camera, She has not opened the gift yet, but that was her big gift this year. I know, you guys are thinking SO? Well this is her First Digital Camera, as of right now she is still using a film camera. And this is going to be fun. And Yes, I will be capturing every moment on my camera. I know going into this, there will be some challenges, But all in all its going to be a lot of fun.
Now that I have shared my moments this season, what are yours?????? Any Questions? Concerns? or just want to tell us about some experiences with Santa Pictures, Holiday Pictures, or any other Pictures? Please post a comment. I Look Forward to hearing from you!
