Capturing Memories: Why You Should Make Family Photos a Priority

MERGE, Portraits

Do you ever look back at old family photos and feel a wave of nostalgia wash over you? There’s something special about being able to relive memories through pictures. However, family photos are often taken only on special occasions, leaving gaps in the story of our lives.

That’s why it’s important to make family photography a priority throughout the year. In this article, we’ll explore why capturing memories through family photos is so valuable. From watching your family grow and change to preserving family history, you’ll learn the many reasons why taking photographs of your loved ones should be a regular occurrence. So grab your camera and get ready to make some memories!

Watching Your Family Grow and Change

As you continue to capture your family’s memories through photography, you’ll also have the opportunity to watch them grow and change over time. From the first steps of a toddler to the graduation of a high school senior, family photos can document the milestones and changes that occur throughout a person’s life.

Whether you display them in a photo album or hang them on your walls, these images allow you to see the growth and development of your family members over the years. And not only can you look back on these images with fondness, but they also provide a tangible way to see just how far you and your loved ones have come.

Reliving Special Moments

In addition to watching your family grow and change, family photos also provide a way for you to relive special moments. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a family vacation, or just a fun day at the park, capturing these moments through photography allows you to revisit them anytime you want.

Looking at these images can transport you back in time and allow you to relive the joy and happiness you felt in that moment. You can share these memories with others, passing down stories and details that may have been forgotten.

Not only do family photos help you capture and relive special moments, they also become a way to preserve your family history. Family photos can document the traditions, experiences, and values that are important to your family. They can serve as a visual representation of your family’s unique story, allowing future generations to connect with and learn from their ancestors.

Preserving Family History

Family photos are more than just a way to capture and relive special moments, they also provide a means to preserve your family’s history. These images serve as a visual representation of your family’s traditions, experiences, and values, capturing the essence of your family’s unique story.

By prioritizing family photos, you are creating a legacy that will be cherished for years to come. And while digital photos are convenient, there’s something special about having tangible memories you can hold and pass down to future generations. With this in mind, let’s explore how you can create physical keepsakes that will help you further cherish the memories captured in your family photos.

Creating Tangible Memories

By prioritizing family photos, you are not only capturing precious moments but also preserving your family’s history. While digital photos are convenient, there’s something special about having physical keepsakes that you can hold and pass down to future generations.

These tangible memories can be cherished for years to come and can help you further connect with the memories captured in your family photos. You can turn your photos into physical keepsakes by creating family albums, scrapbooks, or even printing them out and displaying them in your home.

By taking the time to create these physical mementos, you are creating a lasting legacy for your family. Making photography a priority is not just about capturing moments, it’s about creating a meaningful history that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Making Photography a Priority

By now, it’s clear that family photos are an essential part of documenting memories and creating tangible keepsakes. But how do you make photography a priority in your busy life? Here are a few tips to help you prioritize photography:

1. Schedule regular photo sessions: Whether it’s a professional photo shoot or a family outing with your camera, scheduling regular photo sessions can help you capture moments and memories as they happen. Plus, it gives you a fun activity to look forward to as a family.

2. Keep your camera handy: You never know when a special moment will happen, so keeping your camera or smartphone handy can help you capture those unexpected memories. Try to keep your camera within reach, so you’re always ready to snap a photo.

3. Involve your family: Making photography a priority isn’t just about taking photos of your family, but also involving them in the process. Encourage your family to take photos and document their own memories. Not only does this give you more perspectives, but it also helps teach your children the importance of capturing memories.

By making photography a priority, you can create a habit of capturing and documenting your family’s memories. It’s not just about taking photos, but also about creating a legacy that can be passed down for generations. With a little effort and commitment, you can create a meaningful history that will be cherished for years to come.

Summary

As we wrap up, it’s clear that family photography is more than just a one-and-done occasion. It’s an opportunity to watch your family grow and change before your eyes, relive special moments, preserve family history, and create tangible memories. By making photography a priority, you can capture those fleeting moments and hold onto them forever.

So grab your camera, snap away, and remember the words of photographer Aaron Siskind: “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

Five Reasons To Take Family Photos Every Year

FAMILY PORTRAITS: How to prepare, How to pick outfits, and everything in between

Five Reasons To Take Family Photos Every Year

There are so many things that make it hard to think about having family portraits taken. Let’s be honest, it’s easy to say oh we’ll do it next year and then you look up and it’s been five years! You’ve missed kids growing by feet, missing teeth and so much that you would love to see in future years.

It’s easy to make excuses NOT to make time for family photos, but here are 5 reasons that you SHOULD have professional family photos taken!

I will add a personal note: I have four adult children and 3 grandchildren (with one on the way in December). I WISH I took more family photos and looking back, the time is so minor compared to the lost time of missing photos and missing seeing them grow. Having the images I did take on my walls and in albums, gives my grand-babies the opportunity to see their parents grow up and for us to see how similar my adult children looked to their babies. One thing I can promise is that you’ll NEVER regret taking the photos!

If you’d rather watch a video, scroll to the bottom! Ok, let’s get to it!

1 | Create Memories

Memories tend to fade and the easiest and fastest way to remember memories is with photos. When you see a photo, you tend to go back in time to that moment. Children change especially often, but even you as a parent age. I always say the best time to take a photo is NOW — you will never be younger than you are today.

Even the act of scheduling and taking yearly family photos themselves are crating memories for your family. Where you go, the laughs you have are all a memory. Capturing these changes and growth enables us to capture a timeline of milestone ages and events.

2 | You’re Not Just Taking Them for Yourself, But for Future Generations

Capturing the holidays, the old photo albums come out and memories flood the room as relatives recount stories from their younger years. While at the time, you might not care about photos of you, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be overjoyed that they have pictures of you to remember you by.

My kids LOVE to look through my albums of family photos and my wedding album. It’s a way for your kids and young adults to connect with you.

3 |Document Growth

Babies grow so quickly, I always encourage my families to get a Growing Baby Plan which is heavily discounted sessions for newborns, 3 months, 6 months, and one year. They are helpful because having a new baby is a whirlwind. Half the time you forget about all kinds of things as you are in the moment with them.

Kids grow so fast. Family portraits are a great way to document their growth progress, watching them change from year to year. Also, looking back on past trends and styles will be sure to provide a laugh in the years to come.

4 | You Never Know When the Last Chance for a Family Photo Will Be

I have always had former wedding photography clients contact me asking to create a piece of wall art after a loved one has passed with the photos I’ve captured for them. The same is true for family photos. When a loved one passes away, photos are WAY more important suddenly.

Here’s a personal story: I always photograph each family gathering and my family always complains. I photographed Father’s day since my grandfather was 95, but I also capture the whole family. Sadly my father passed away suddenly a few months after that and those photographs are so cherished to me. More importantly they are super important to my adult children and their grandchildren, who never have the opportunity to meet him.

Bottom line, life is always too short and it’s unpredictable. Unfortunate things happen without warning and loved ones may pass unexpectedly. Take advantage of the time you have together now so that you won’t regret not taking those photos.

5 | High-Quality Photos to Last a Lifetime

In today’s world with shared albums on our cell phones, Instagram, Tik-Tok, and Snapchat, we don’t think about having photos taken professionally. And, we almost never print them. I feel like this will be a lost generation with so few images printed and so many lost digital images over the last decade.

With the quality and digital size images professional photographers create, you’ll never have a problem creating large images to put on your wall, printing holiday cards, or making cool unique gifts for birthdays and holidays for loved ones.

As a bonus to my clients, I have a professional printer attached to my online galleries, so they get a photographer’s discount on printing quality professional prints that last generations and not fade after 8 years from Walgreen, Costco, etc.

Preparing for a Maternity Photo Shoot

MERGE, Portraits

Preparing for a Maternity Photo Shoot

I love photographing this amazing time in a mother’s life. Hopefully, you are enjoying your time and glowing, but even if you are not feeling your best, your child will cherish these photographs when they get older, so it’s important to document them.

Being a mother of four, I’m relieved I have photographs, even though I really didn’t want to be photographed at that time. My teens and adult children love them! I am so honored to photograph this amazing moment in your life.

Below is some advice that you may find helpful to prepare yourself for this photoshoot.

What to Wear

This is the most asked question! It’s really quite simple. Think about what you want to see in the future. What will your child want to see? Your baby bump of course! So, highlight that bump by wearing clothing that you feel beautiful in and that hugs your body and belly. Clothes that cling are usually your best bet and are more flattering. Think about your home and where you will be hanging the photograph. If your home is decorated in warm tones, wear warm tones. Avoid heavy patterns, florals, plaids, and checks. Stick to solids and simple prints. White and black look particularly good and can be printed in color or black or white. Choose something that is reflective of your personality and timeless. Additionally, you may opt to go bare belly. Sheer curtains or white/black sheets wrapped around your body create a really interesting look. Jeans and a button-up shirt also make it easy to transition into showing your belly. Having a bandeau or strapless bra is handy for transitions and under flowing dresses.

Timing

The ideal time to take maternity photos is about 24-38 weeks. You want to be round (belly hasn’t dropped) and feeling good – not swelling. It’s always best to do it earlier than later, as your little one may arrive early.

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 1

Lighting and Location

Outdoors: The great outdoors offers beautiful backdrops that are hard to recreate indoors. The light is best between 8-10 am and 4-6 pm to photograph anywhere outside. If possible, plan to be photographed during that time. If not, at least steer clear of direct sunlight to avoid harsh shadows. At Home: If you prefer a little privacy (want to wear limited clothing), your home may be the ideal location, in particular, your backyard. Grass and fences make a great background. Additionally, your bedroom and nursery are great places to capture your life before the baby. We would need to shoot in the brightest rooms near windows, although we can bring lights, natural light makes the best pictures.

Props

Consider what you’d like to include in the picture; ultrasound printout, alphabet blocks that spell your baby’s name, chalkboard with babies due date, baby shoes, stuffed animals, flowers, your pets, or whatever you’ve seen in other maternity photos that you like.

Involve the Family

In addition to individual photos of you and your beautiful belly, how about capturing a few shots of you and your significant other before your new baby arrives. If you have other children, be sure to capture a few mother and child moments, as well as include them for a family portrait. Also, consider grandparents or great grandparents in the photos – you’ll appreciate that you did and your children will love to see them in the future.

Be Creative

Your maternity photos should be as unique and special as you are. Don’t be afraid to let me know of any poses you’d like to try. Go onto our Pinterest page to research ideas and make notes of your favorite ideas. I love to be creative and try new things and you deserve to feel beautiful, amazing and get incredible photographs. I really want you to enjoy every minute of it.

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 6

Skincare / Make-up

Moisturize that belly! Please don’t use sparkly or body glitter. While it’s cute, it won’t photograph well. Keep your make-up simple. Even if you never wear make-up, you should use some foundation as it evens out your skin tone and smoothes the skin. Just make sure it’s not orange or yellow. Test the color on the back of your wrist near your palm for true color. Additionally, please consider mascara and lipstick (even nude color is good) as it lines the lips. These few items will help you look your best.

Top 5 Spots to Take Portraits in the Bay Area

Hi there — I’m Jen Vazquez a wedding, branding, and portrait photographer. I’ve photographed in so many places and thought I’d compile a list of locations I love to photograph at in one blog post. This way my clients, and potential clients, can see places that are great to get family portraits, maternity sessions, branding sessions, engagement sessions, and so many more portraits type of photos. Enjoy!

5 spots to take portraits in the bay area by jen vazquez photography

Bernal Ranch / Bernal Historic Park

Located at 372 Manila Dr. Jose 95119 in south San Jose near the hills of Bernal and Cottle Avenue. You will love this location because it has a white barn, grass, yellow poppies, trees, hiking trails, and a wood fence. There is also chicken coups and old farming equipment. It’s located in a residential area and parking is free. There is no bathroom available.

Bernal Historic Part generation family portraits by Jen Vazquez Photography 20201031-1314

Elizabeth Gamble Gardens

Located in Old Palo Alto at 1431 Waverley St, Palo Alto 94301. This is one of my most favorite locations. It’s a historic property that has year-round beauty. It has two-and-a-half acres including a rose garden, cutting garden, formal herb garden, wisteria garden, and an allée. There is free parking but it is a small lot. Parking on the street around the property is available. The bathrooms are not open on the weekends.

Hidden Valley Park

Located at 3455 Bonita Vista Dr., Santa Rosa, CA 95404. It’s in the middle of a neighborhood so there isn’t a parking lot. You just park on the street. There is a park for kids to play on. There is a large grass area (like more than a football field), super tall trees, and back to the right of the playground is a semi-hidden area with stunningly gorgeous light in the late afternoon/evening time.

Almaden Quicksilver County Park

This is a huge park that can be accessed from all over. I like to go to 21785 Almaden Rd, San Jose, CA 95120 – there are trees and a big field, plus little nooks with pretty light. There are a ton of hiking trails for the adventurous. There are public bathrooms.

Martial Cottle Park

Located in south San Jose of Snell and Branham at 5283 Snell Ave, San Jose 95136. It’s the park across the street from Safeway. While it’s a newer location, it’s one of my most favorite because there is a large tree with a white fence and a hill with steps of lawn. It is a ranch-style look that is gorgeous! There are bathrooms and plenty of parking. It does cost $6 a day.

Places to take photos in San Francisco

MERGE, Portraits

San Francisco is the scene of countless books, blockbusters movies, independent films, sitcoms, and classic songs. There are a certain aura and appeal of the city that draws in people from all walks of life. It’s this diversity and the city’s rich history and unique landscape that makes this a gorgeous location for portraits. Below are a few locations to take photos in San Francisco:

baker beach in san francisco sterlinglanier-lanier-T929bTXWJaA-unsplash

Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach: Some of the most spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge can be seen from Baker Beach. It’s like a postcard, the Marin Headlands visible to the east coupled with the rugged cliffs of Baker Beach, clean sands and the crystal blue and green Pacific Ocean surf. I love shooting here.

Golden Gate Bridge from Crissy Field: Photographing from Crissy Field gives a different perspective from that of Baker Beach. Crissy Field is on the Bayside, south of the Golden Gate, and offers sensational views of Marin County and some San Francisco landmarks, including the Palace of Fine Arts. Crissy Field is located north of the Marina District in San Francisco, close to Golden Gate Park and the Presidio.

Golden Gate Park: Golden Gate Park has acres and acres, 1,017 acres to be exact, of gorgeous, lush parkland to take breathtaking portraits! There are so many locations within the park that make for amazing pictures. Some favorite spots include the Botanical Gardens, The Japanese Tea Gardens, JFK Drive, The Conservatory of Flowers, and Stowe Lake.

Sutro Baths-montylov-Ri9Q6ZQrN5g-unsplash

Sutro Baths: Sutro Baths provide a really great rustic look with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, the Farallon Islands, and the famous Cliff House. Sutro Baths are located at the north end of Ocean Beach close to Geary Boulevard.

The Palace of the Legion of Honor: One of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks, the Palace of the Legion of Honor offers staggering views of the city, the Pacific Ocean as well as offering a plethora of wonderful locations and features columns that have a gorgeous, grandiose feel.

the palace of fine arts by emmanuel-appiah-9rTL5cnTCb0-unsplash

The Palace of Fine Arts: The Palace of Fine Arts is unique in that it offers both a refined and rustic appeal full of San Francisco character and artistic history. Think big stone pillars. It really is a fabulous location – grand and glorious and just full of San Francisco charm!

potrero hill san francisco by Shashi Kumar via unsplash

Potrero Hill: For those who love sweeping city views, Potrero hill is a fabulous location – especially on a clear day. Potrero Hill sits within one of the best micro-climates in San Francisco and the views of the City are usually unobstructed by the fog.

China Basin: On a clear, sunny day China Basin offers some of the most wonderful bayside photo opportunities. You can get close to the water with fabulous backdrops such as the world-famous Giants Stadium, boats, and the Bay Bridge.

I’d love to photograph you in one of these locations – contact me.

Maternity Session Tips

MERGE, Portraits

As I’m a wedding photographer, my clients often contact me to photographer their maternity sessions. Since I’m a momma of 4, I know how important and amazing this time is in your life and I love photographing these moments!

Hopefully, you are enjoying your time and glowing, but even if you are not feeling your best, your child will cherish theses photographs when they get older, so it is important to document this moment!

I’m relieved I have photographs of when I was pregnant with my children, even though I really didn’t want to be photographed at that time. My now-adult children love them! So, here is some maternity session advice to help you prepare and know when to schedule the shoot for:

What to Wear:

This is the most asked question! It’s really quite simple. Think about what you want to see in the future. What will your child want to see? Your baby bump of course! So to accentuate that bump, you want to highlight it by wearing clothing that you feel beautiful in and that hug your body and belly.

Clothes that cling are usually your best bet and more flattering. Think about your home and where you will be hanging the photograph. If your home decorated in warm tones, wear warm tones. Avoid heavy patterns, florals, plaids, and checks. Stick to solids and simple prints. But if you love something floral or colorful that won’t look great with the colors of your home, remember that the images can be printed in black or white.

Choose something that is reflective of your personality and timeless. Additionally, you may opt to go bare belly. Having a bandeau or strapless bra is handy for transitions and under flowing dresses. Now’s the time to dress up and wear a long flowing gown that hugs your bump!

Timing:

The ideal time to take maternity photos is about 28-38 weeks. This seems a bit far out, but you want to be round and when your belly hasn’t dropped. This time, you’ll also be feeling good and not swelling like the very end of the pregnancy. If you are unsure about when, choose earlier than later, as your little one may arrive early.

Lighting and Location:

The great outdoors offers beautiful backdrops that are hard to recreate indoors. The light is best 2 hours after sunrise or two hours before sunset about 8-10 am and 4-6 pm (depending upon the time of year).

In terms of location, it depends upon what you like! You can photographs in a field, a state park, downtown at a cafe. It just depends upon what type of look you are going for. Many of my couples like to photograph at the place they did their engagement photographs, but you can really choose anywhere!

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 2

Props:

Consider what you’d like to include in the picture; ultrasound printout, alphabet blocks that spell your baby’s name, a chalkboard with babies due date, baby shoes, stuffed animals, flowers, your pets, or whatever you’ve seen in other maternity photos that you like.

Don’t forget the amount of time you are shooting for when you consider what to bring. Typically, only 3-4 items and use props in order of your most favorite to least, in case you run out of time (or light).

Don’t forget your hair – consider flower crowns or hats.

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 4

Involve the Family:

In a typical session, I’m shooting props, you as a couple and your belly. But, If you have other children, be sure to capture a few family portraits. Also, consider grandparents or great grandparents in the photos – you’ll appreciate that you did and your children will love to see these images in the future.

If you are bringing children, having someone that can watch them while I focus on you two is a very helpful idea to save time and for safety.

Be Creative:

Your maternity photos should be as unique and special as you are. Don’t be afraid to let me know of any poses you’d like to try. Go onto our Pinterest page to research ideas and make note of your favorite ideas knowing that I will use them as inspiration, but it won’t be an identical photograph.

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 5

Skincare/ Make-up:

Or better yet, hire a makeup or hair artist, so you look and feel pampered and beautiful!

Prepare:

Make sure that you drink a ton of water during the week before the shoot. It helps skin and hair and your body to feel hydrated. Moisturize that belly. Avoid tanning as this can leave tanning lines and or you can burn. I know it’s hard during pregnancy, but getting good rest the week before helps too!

Pack: Pack what you are bringing the day before. Pregnancy brain is a real thing and almost every mom-to-be forgets something. Put your outfit(s), jewelry, shoes, etc in one spot along with any props you might bring.

If you order an outfit: Make sure that you order it in plenty of time. A lot of my moms-to-be say that one outfit didn’t arrive or didn’t fit by the time they took maternity photos. You don’t want to be frustrated on the day of your shoot with something not fitting and in your last months, you increase in the size or your belly daily.

maternity session with jen vazquez photography maternity portrait 3

Enjoy!

No matter if you forgot a prop or your outfit didn’t fit, remember that these photographs are going to be a legacy for your child and grandchildren in the future. We are gonna have a blast and document this most exciting and beautiful time of your life and the best thing you can do for your shoot is to relax and enjoy the moment!
