Family photo shoots - Why capturing these memories are so important.

How often do you sit down and look through old photos of you as a kid, reminiscing over those great moments? How often do you look at your own children and think about how much they have changed or how grown up they have become? We do it all the time! We have many photos of our children and many more we need to print. We are also making more of an effort to take more (note to self!). Also, more with us in, now thats a challenge!

There are so many moments in life that create memories, that make us who we are as people, one of the biggest things of all are those we love. For us, we want to capture something of who you are when you are in your everyday life, when you are interacting, when you are being real with the people that make your life what it is. Moments that only you guys understand, funny names, silly games, stupid faces, or equally moments of calm and tranquility, that say so much about the way you feel. We love helping you to make and capture memories that you can cherish like no others. Squidgy newborn thighs, big honest eyes, breakfast making, pancake munching, old wrinkles, fresh faces, whatever your family and those you care about possess, we want to capture for you.

Family shoots provide you with a chance to have some of those special memories captured. In this digital age, we capture photos on our phones, but how often are you actually in them? Unless you are a selfie queen, which most parents are not, I bet that the number is low. How many images do you have as a whole family? How often are you able to take photos of the moments you really want capturing, whilst juggling bags and buggies, family and work or just life in general. It's an opportunity to genuinely enjoy a moment and to have images of the real, the raw and the precious.

We want to provide you with photos of your tribe in a situation that best captures how you really are. Whether it be at home, out and about, we would love to have the honour of taking photos of some of these precious times, that will become memories for you in the future. We genuinely would love this opportunity.

Here are just a few moments of some very special people that we have worked with and a few of our cheeky pair, thrown in for good measure. If you would like to have a family shoot please do drop us a line here and also pop on over to our facebook page for the chance to win and free family shoot with o&c Photography.
