3 Reasons Why Have a Professional Portrait Taken

Everyone has their own reason to be photographed. Most of my clients say they have never been photographed professionally before (apart from a wedding day for some). In this week’s post let’s talk about the reasons why you should have a professional portrait taken.

Why have a professional portrait taken

Trust me, a wedding is not the only day worthy of commemorating in gorgeous photographs. We grow up, we grow older — our faces and bodies change. How amazing would it feel to watch your journey through life in beautiful images!

3 reasons why you should treat yourself for a photoshoot

1. Confidence boost

We always think it’s a hair cut or a new dress that will raise our confidence… These are great options, but imagine the level of confidence boost when viewing gorgeous images of yourself!

Having a portrait taken is an experience. During every photoshoot I see an incredible transformation: shy and slightly awkward at the beginning, proceeded by a rockstar attitude at the end of the photoshoot! You can take your experience to another level by getting pampered and glammed up by a professional makeup artist.

2. Let’s celebrate YOU!

Professional photography is not only for celebrities and fashion models — it’s for anyone who wants to feel empowered and confident.

You are worthy of being photographed; you are perfect right now. Did you know that you can instantly look 20 pounds lighter and 10 years younger with just correct posing?

Celebrate *you* by treating yourself to a photoshoot experience. Is it your birthday, an anniversary, or a milestone of some kind? You are worthy and deserve to be celebrated.

3. Legacy

When was last time you were photographed? Do you exist in photos? Will your children find photographs of you when you’re gone? This is what we all do when someone passes away – we look for images of them. Have your portrait taken with your partner, children, parents. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

“Why do I need a professional portrait taken with a high quality phone camera in my pocket?” First thing’s first – it’s not the camera, but a person behind it. A photographer is not only there to click a button, but to direct you to the most flattering poses, capture the perfect moment and complete this magic with a few editing tricks.

Mobile images are great, though phones get broken or lost — it happens. Having your files backed up, or better, professionally printed will eliminate the pain of losing all of your memories, if the unexpected happens.
