3 Reasons to Invest in a Portrait Session

With the invention of digital cameras and cell phones, it has never been easier than it is now to take photos of yourself or to get photos taken of you. And yet, I still hear people say, “I don’t have many pictures of myself” or “I don’t like having photos taken of me.” I get it, but here are 3 reasons why you should invest in a professional portrait session for yourself.

For the Confidence Boost

The idea of a big camera in your face can be nerve wracking, and you might not feel like you’re confident enough to have pictures taken of you in the first place, but just hear me out. What if you used photography as a tool to build up your confidence? With the right photographer (me) you will gradually come out of your shell during the shoot and feel an overwhelming amount of confidence upon seeing the photos of you! The best results come from doing multiple shoots overtime, but even one shoot can make a major difference.

Meet Greg

When I met Greg for our first shoot together, he shared with me that he likes to do photoshoots as a way of boosting and regaining his self-confidence.

For the Memories

By not taking photos of yourself consistently, you create gaps in time that you will never be able to fully revisit. Your future self and your loved ones will miss out on seeing who you once were and how far you’ve come since then. And sure, that’s somewhat mitigated with phone selfies (which are great and you should take more of them!) but think about it… looking back on nice, professional or creative portraits of yourself would just have a different kind of je ne sais quoi to them.

For the Professional and Personal Opportunities

A quality image makes a statement. By posting nice images of yourself, you are more likely to attract positive attention, which can spark conversations, which can then lead to new friendships, job opportunities, creative collaborations, and possibly even some romance!
