Women NEED to be present in Photographs!

All too often I’m asked, ‘Can you please take some portraits of my children but I definitely don’t want to be in them.’ The look of horror in their eyes when I suggest that they join in! There’s such a juxtaposition in our society today. With easy access to our mobile phones we constantly take photos of our children, snapshots have never been so easily immediately available to us. How often have you come back from holiday or a day trip out and realised that you’re not on any of the shots, where were you? Of course, you were behind the camera. Does the excuse of oh I need to lose weight or I look shocking sound familiar to you? Can you imagine your children looking back through family photos when their older and having very few photos of you to look at?

In the words of Sue Bryce, ‘I want to tell Women to GET IN PHOTOGRAPHS.  To celebrate their beauty and most important of all to exist in Photos for your children. One day they will be priceless.  Like you are to the people who love you.’
