The Importance of Having Your Photos Taken

The Importance of Having Your Photos Taken


If there’s one thing for certain in life, it’s that your to-do list is never ending. From minor things — like doing the laundry, mailing that package, and getting to that doctor’s appointment — to major commitments like planning a birthday party or heading out of town for a wedding, it can all be pretty exhausting. Amid it all, though, we argue that it’s important to take some time once every year or so for yourself, and for your loved ones, to have your pictures taken. We admit we’re pretty partial to this notion, but here are seven reasons why we think it’s a good idea. Let us know if you agree! Things Change Really Quickly Your baby can change dramatically in a matter of months, and this rings true as your kids get older, as well. Adults grow and change just the same. It Presses Pause on a Period of Time You know how when you smell a perfume or a certain food it brings you back to a moment in time? Looking at a picture does the same thing. Not just in terms of the moment itself, but in terms of that period of your life. You’ll Love Looking Back on the Images Later Having images that document you and your family over time is unspeakably meaningful. You, your kids, your kids’ kids, and so forth will love being able to look back at these snapshots from throughout your life. Professional Photos Are of a Certain Quality Candid images you taken on your phone are super important (seriously — snap away and don’t stop!), but there’s nothing that compares to the high quality of professional images. You’ll Always Have a Fun Holiday Card to Send Cheesy as it may sound, having a fun image of your crew to slap on a Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving card is always nice. And you know what, loved ones enjoy seeing your face in the mail! On that note, photos also make great gifts year round. It’s a Reason to Get Together We alluded to all the chaos in our worlds above, but we’ll reiterate the point. Stopping everything to get together for a couple hours — looking your best and chilling in a cool location — is a great way to spend an afternoon and forget about all the other stressors in your life. The Actual Experience Can Be Super Meaningful We talk a lot about looking at the images and enjoying them after the fact, but the actual session is meaningful, as well. It can be a true bonding experience for couples, small families, and large groups. Some even make the commitment to do images once year just for that reason.
