Visual narratives that evoke emotions
Over time, I’ve come to realize the profound importance of storytelling photos. Unlike simple portraits, they evoke emotions and allow us to relive and share our life experiences.
While working on a personal project at the end of February, I was looking for a specific photo I had taken during the pandemic. I went back to my 2020 photo folder and quickly browsed through thousands of photos. Wow! It was so amazing to see all the fun stuff we had done over the past few years as a family. To see how my kids’ creative minds work, the simple activities we did in the backyard, our everyday… What a great way to warm my heart! It also made me recognize that we don’t need much to have a good and happy life.
You know what made me feel even better? I can be seen interacting with my family in many of the photos. At that time in my life, I had finally understood the importance of being in front of the camera (yay to the interval meter method I mentioned in a previous post!)
These photos are everything to me.
Now, I’m determined to print some of them and create more photo books. Regularly seeing these tangible moments will remind me of how awesome our life is. It will also serve as a beacon of light during the darkest parenting episodes. You know, when you finally think you have things figured out, only to hit another brick wall?!
This leads me to the Heartfelt Chapters—Year-long photography membership for spirited Edmonton families. This is your chance to experience that same heartwarming joy.
This membership serves two main purposes: to give you the chance to be in your day-to-day photos with your family, and to see how much your family evolves and grows over a year. It’s also a way for you to celebrate life’s little and big events with your family without having to worry about documenting it all.
