Why get family photos?
My mum always said she would get family photos done, but there were always the same excuses:
I need to lose 10 kilos first
We just don’t have the time as life is so crazy busy
We will get them done when you kids don’t have gaps in your teeth, or when your brother’s braces come off..
When I can talk you father into it, as you know how much he hates having his photo taken..
we’ll need to save some money, as things are a little tight at the moment
But unfortunately, all those things got in the way, and it just never happened.
In 2011 my Dad had a heart and suddenly he was gone forever & now it was too late….
I would give anything to go back & take an hour out of our busy schedules to capture those photos with him…
I would love just one photo that captures the amazing friendship my Dad and I had… the incredible granddad he was to my kids.. how much my mum & dad still loved each other after 49 yrs of marriage…
Those memories are in my mind, but I would give anything to have that captured in a photos that I could look at every day…
THE PURPOSE BEHIND UBER PHOTOGRAPHY
This is the purpose behind the über photography brand, to make sure every child has photo with their parents, to treasure as time goes on.
We understand it's hard to find the time to take that important photo of your family. We capture award winning photos, that tell the true story of your family, unlike those awkwardly posed family photos with false smiles.
We capture from newborns to teenagers to extended families, so no matter at what stage your family is at, we can capture that time in your lives for you.
Imagine having beautiful family photos you will proudly hang on your wall, that capture real moments with your kids that you can share & treasure forever.
MY OWN FAMILY PHOTOS
When I lost my Dad I made a decision that I never wanted my kids to now have photos with me, so we have hired a photographer every year since….
I hate having my photo taken, and I used to make every excuse:
I will lose some weight first- my kids have never once mentioned my weight in photos
Running a business & having 3 kids doesn’t leave much spare time- but we just block it on the calendar now and make it happen..
We’ve had kids with braces and missing teeth- but I think that is part of my family’s story & they are actually some of my favourite photos.
As photographers, Chris and I both don’t enjoy being on the other side of the camera- but I know in my heart that it’s more important to capture those memories than to worry about an hour of feeling uncomfortable.
Like all parents, sometimes the bills all seem to come in spurts, and money can be tight- but when you really understand how important it is, we always seem to find the money when we need it.
This is my families journey…
