The thing that motivates me the most is the fact that I have hardly any photos of myself from when I was little. There were no portraits displayed in our home as I was growing up. No prints, no albums, and we certainly didn’t have any digital images. My family never valued professional photography and having no history of my own to look back at is really sad.
This is why I have chosen to be a baby and family photographer and why I drag my husband and kids to a professional photoshoot at least once a year, so we can fill our house with portraits of our children and family. And I truly practice what I preach – print, print, print your photos! 🙂
