On Location Photography: Appreciating the Convenience
Filed Under camera and photo
Photographs are great to have for capturing memories and holding them for future viewing and reminiscing. Family photos are among the most treasured of all as they are of the entire family together. Sometimes, especially for families with very young children, getting ready for this event can be quite an ordeal. In this case, on site photography would be ideal. Consider the following scenario:
A young family with 3 pre-school aged children has an appointment with a local photo studio to have professional family photos taken. They’ve always wanted a large family portrait to hang above the fireplace. Family and friends are always asking for pictures of the kids. So, the young family finally has an appointment; all they have to do is get ready for the event and head to the studio.
What an ordeal! Mom has to rush around, dressing kids, doing their hair, feeding the baby who is not too happy with all the commotion. Finally, everyone is ready and the baby spits up. Mom manages to clean it up before his outfit is stained; she wisely packs an extra just in case. On their way out to the car, the 2-1/2 year old trips and falls, ending up with grass stains on her dress. As the oldest child waits calmly by the car, you sigh with relief, until you notice that he is leaning on the car; now there are smudges on his shirt. You hope that the photographer can work with you, posing everyone to hide the smudges.
As Mom gets the children buckled into the car and they’re heading out, she realizes how this has already been an exhausting ordeal! They show up for their appointment and she feels like she has to repeat all the morning’s work again, fixing the children’s hair, straightening clothing, getting them to stay still until the photographer comes in. Oh, and the baby did manage to stain his clothing pretty bad; he will need a new outfit. To make matters worse, his face is red and blotchy from crying all morning.
So, what is wrong with this picture? A beautiful family is frazzled; they couldn’t wait to have nice photos made; now they can’t wait to get it over with. If only they could relax at home and wait for the photographer to come to them. Just get ready and relax; the children wouldn’t have a chance to get stains on their clothes, the baby could just wear a diaper until the photographer arrives and get dressed at the last minute. Everyone would be much calmer; therefore, the baby would be happier.
Too bad this family didn’t consider on location photography. The photographer brings everything that is needed to create studio quality professional photos. A family can have their own home as the background, or the photographer can bring special material to create different background.
On location photography works very well for special events including weddings, graduation ceremonies, family reunions and more. The on site photographer is a very convenient service, saving you a trip to the photo studio. This is especially handy for the family with several young children, or the family who wants to include their pets in the photos.
