The Power of Pictures: an Omaha Lifestyle Photographer’s Perspective

Cameras are readily accessible for anyone. Gone are the days of having to save the 12 shots on the roll of film for an entire event. We no longer need to make sure every click is picture perfect (that phrase was coined for a reason!) because we aren’t getting another chance to get it again. We take pictures of EVERYTHING now. My favorite actor of all time (Tom Hanks in case you are wondering) enjoys taking pictures of random gloves he finds while out and about. Yes. What used to be saved for only royalty is now used to glorify unpaired gloves.

Even though people are taking pictures of anything and everything, that doesn’t mean the power of a picture has lost it’s value. Pictures are the one possession that if lost, we would give any amount of money to get back. We often kick ourselves in the butt for missing a shot. They are our ticket to our memories and things we hold in our hearts.

And there’s nothing we hold closer or is more valuable than our families. Which is the main reason I am a lifestyle photographer. Because it will take you back to those moments that matter.

That is all 🙂
