Capture Those Special Moments with Professional Portraits from AM Studios
One of the things I love about being a professional portrait photographer is getting the chance to capture the special moments of someones life. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to be a family portrait photographer in the first place. There is nothing like getting the chance to give a family priceless portrait photos they will cherish forever. Most commonly, those special moments are a child’s first birthday or maybe a 50th anniversary, but recently I got to capture a couple getting engaged!
Not an Average Day as a Family Photographer
It was a cute family of three that walked in and wanted to get some professional family photos done. I was waiting for them to finish changing the baby so we could get started when the father of the boyfriend pulled me over and told me that the boyfriend was planning on proposing to his girlfriend during the family photo session. Which I was thankful for because I was not caught off guard and was ready for it when it happened. I had never witnessed a proposal before so I was pretty excited and nervous at the same time. I was now trying to think of all the ways he was going to propose and how I would capture it. The more I thought about it the more I got nervous! But when the baby was ready to go I got them into the portrait studio and instinct took over and I just did what was natural for me.
A Happy Ending to the Family Portrait Session
I may not capture engagements everyday but even getting to capture the smaller moments like a family’s first portraits together is still special and amazing and I love that aspect of my job.
