Why You Need Summer Vacation Photos | Virginia Beach Family Photographer

Your Summer Memories are Irreplaceable.

It's just that simple. You spend all year saving up for your big vacation, it only makes sense to document it properly. Something this big deserves something more than blurry cell phone pictures where one key person is always missing from the picture. (That's kind of sad, right?)
I read the other day that we only get 18 summers with our kids. 18. That's not a lot. By the time they are 10 years old, you're over halfway to that point and you're coming up on the teenage years where life demands so much more of them and they have other obligations as they prepare for life as an adult.
18 summers. 
That's it. 
If that's not irreplaceable. I don't know what is. 

Your Summer Vacation is one for the books!

What's better years from now than looking back at old photo albums and remembering a few good times? I would argue that it's one of life's greatest pleasures. Or when it comes time to make those Senior slideshows or Senior pages? Having your vacation documented by a professional photographer ensures that you have the best pictures to look back on, where, again, every single member of the family is in the frame. No one is missing out. 

It's worth it. 

Pictures of your family, especially having the time of their lives, are always worth it. The value is priceless. We never know what tomorrow holds, it's always a safe bet to make the memories (and take the pictures) because it's something we would never, ever regret. The only thing we would regret is not getting them done. 

It saves you time and regret.

I think a lot of times, not intentionally, photographs become an after thought.  I'm a professional photographer, my life is photographs. But I would be lying if I said that I didn't sometimes totally and completely slack on taking our own family photos, especially during vacations. Why? Because I am a wife and a mom first. I also deserve to be on vacation. So I know exactly how it feels to sit down at the end of the day and think to myself, "I didn't take any pictures today!" 
Hiring a professional photographer to come and document your summer memories gives you peace of mind and ease the mental load on parents to document their kids memories. It allows you to be fully present in the moment knowing that someone else is being the family historian for once.

And I know you may be thinking that it might be awkward to have someone following you around on vacation taking pictures, but I assure you, it dissipates in the first few minutes that we are together. When I am with you, I integrate into your family. I am the auntie no one has seen for a while- I promise after a few minutes you forget what I am there to do. It's my super power. And anyways, these pictures will be worth it, every penny and more, I promise.
