Last weekend I had the chance to take Christmas photos of some great friends of ours. We have known them for about 12 years now. We’ve talked to them about getting their pictures done for several years and we finally made it happen this year. It was a lot of fun. We went and took pictures in downtown Tomball during the annual Christmas Parade. Of course we didn’t realize it was parade weekend until the night before, but we went with it. I can’t imagine them being any better. I am so excited I finally shot in downtown Tomball and I definitely will be again.There were so many different settings in such a small area. We kept moving from one to the next. It was great. We shot for about 2 hours with them and the kids were great the whole time. Some shoots with kids after about 20 minutes have had enough but we got to keep going with them. Here are a few of my favorites from the day. One side note, they are not the most publicly affectionate people but I did get them to hold hands in one of the pictures, which I considered a triumph! Tim hardly complained.
To me, professional photos are a must for all families. In this day and time almost everyone has a camera on them at all times. Either on their phone or they carry a little camera around with them. Even a growing number of people have a DSLR camera now (those are the big cameras that look like old film cameras). But how many of you actually print these pictures out and put them on your wall, office, or just around the house? Instead, if your like most 90% of your photos no one ever sees and the other 10% end up only on social media, leaving the halls of your home bare or, as I’ve actually seen at friends houses, a picture frame with the picture that came with the frame. I remember growing up and actually having pictures around the house of our family. When I go to my grandmas house she still has my senior picture of me and my Camaro hanging on her wall and it brings back fond memories of that part of my life and that day.
