YOUR PHOTOS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR KIDS TOO

YOUR PHOTOS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR KIDS TOO

Oct 20, 2022 | APNPI Community, For Parents, Hiring a Professional Photographer

Written by: Amy Pazur

The other morning, my daughter, Elliana, woke up and called me into her room. She was happy to be awake and happy to see me. Then, she started to talk about the picture on her dresser. It was a family photo we had taken when she was brand new! Just me, my husband, and my daughter are pictured.

Elliana wanted me to pull it from the dresser so she could hold it. I told her the photo was taken before her sister was born, and it was just the three of us in the picture. My daughter pointed out everyone in the photo and then started to hug the image in the frame.

My heart started to sing.

She was so happy to have this photo of her family. Ellie loved the picture and everyone in it. And then, she hugged the photo like it meant the world to her to have!

 

I don’t think I will ever forget this moment.

As mothers we want to remember everything. Every moment is precious, every memory is sweet. And this is one of the reasons why I love photography.

I have a horrible memory, but when I look at my photos, I can relive the moment. I can remember why it was taken and what we were doing. But that day showed me that those photos aren’t just important to me – they are important to my children as well.

I was so taken aback when Ellie hugged that frame.

She is a very loving child, so her sharing that emotion was not new to me. But for her to see so much love in that image, it validated what I do on a whole new level.

I placed that photo in her room for that exact reason! I wanted her to see her family and know that she was loved. And wow! Her reaction made me want to cry. That is exactly what she felt, appreciated it, and loved it! What more could you ask for?

I’m sharing this story with you to say – please don’t miss out on moments like this!

I know how hard it is to find the time to get photos of your family, but it is too important to put off. These pictures are NOT just for YOU. They are for your kids too! Your family photos, the beautiful images you put up on your walls, are just as much for your children as they are for you. They instill a love in your children that will be with them forever!

Don’t keep your photos on your hard drive.

Do NOT keep them locked in boxes in the attic. Hang your pictures proudly on the walls. Update your family photos. Show your children who you are and who they are. Show them how much you love them.

Book your photo session now! Please don’t wait to show your kids your beautiful family and how much they mean to you!

Session Spotlight: Mademoiselle Madeline – Northern VA newborn photography session

Session Spotlight: Mademoiselle Madeline – Northern VA newborn photography session

Feb 10, 2020 | Educational Resources (members only), Latest Trends, Session Spotlight

I always love a session where I can try something new! Baby girl Madeline’s middle name is Iris, which was also her grandmother’s name. Madeline’s mom reached out to me prior to the session and asked if we could incorporate her husband’s back tattoo of an iris into a portrait with Madeline. After some research, I chose the pose that I thought would show off both the baby and the tattoo well. Dad was actually surprised to find out when they arrived that he would be doing a shirtless photo for this session, but he was a good sport.

It took longer than expected to pose Iris on his shoulder and his muscles are so big (LOL) that his hand could just barely reach her, but mom held his arm up at the elbow while we got her in position and then she spotted only a few inches away while we took the photos. I’m excited how it turned out!

Session Spotlight: Fall newborn

Session Spotlight: Fall newborn

Sep 23, 2019 | Latest Trends, Session Spotlight

The story behind this session…

I adore fall and have been waiting to use this beautiful colour for about a year, as most Mom’s want standard pink and purple for a girl. I cut a wrap from my drop and made a tie back using some beads and faux leafs! The hair on this little angel!

This dreamy little baby had such beautiful hair and skin tone love these colours for her!

This little turkey only let me do one bean bag pose before opening those giant beautiful eyes!

Such bright eyes! She woke up and looked right up my camera.

I couldn't help but laugh when she gave me this little smirk.

Lashes for days! I couldn't get over these lashes so long.

I was trying to tuck in her little hands but she just loved her little face and so did I so inlet her.

Another wrap I made my self 100% completed my vision for toned down pinks perfect for fall!

Every mom loves a facial shot!

We all love headbands and bonnets but I like to do a shot with neither for the parents.

I've never been one for mustard but I am 100% loving it for this session!

Hi there!

​

I am so glad you’re here! My love for taking photos goes way back for me and I am thrilled to share this experience with you! I love taking a precious moment and telling YOUR story through my photos.

​

So who is this girl behind the camera, anyway? Here are some fun facts about me!

​

I love coffee, well, pretty much anything caffeinated! You’ll almost always see me with a hot cup of coffee or even better yet, a yummy latte!

Before I was a photographer, I was an Aesthetician, and before that, I was a Gymnast. Gymnastics was a better outlet for my creative side than working at the spa was, but photography is much easier on my body!

I’m a wife, and mama of a beautiful little boy, probably my life’s greatest achievement.

On any given weekend it wouldn’t be unusual to find me running around trying to balance sessions while simultaneously being a wife and mom and continuing the balancing act of doing laundry and much needed chores.

I wish I liked cleaning but I don’t, so I married a Realtor that is pretty good with staging a home so I let him organize how that works.

A few years ago I was just a mom with a camera. Now I have a thriving business AND I have the opportunity to watch amazing families and grow!

Lastly, if I could have any job in the world, it would be THIS one right here. ❤️

​

​

YOUR MOMENTS MATTER. You’ll never get today back, so don’t put it off any longer! I’d love for you to contact me with any questions you may have, and let’s book your next photo session!

I can’t wait to meet you!
