The Importance of Family and Family Portraits for the Holidays

It’s that time of year again. As the days get shorter, the holidays draw nearer and nearer. And this means several family gatherings, whether it’s a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa party, or a party to ring in the New Year, there are many occasions to celebrate with loved ones. And who could forget the holiday cards? This is where you get to show off your beautiful family, pets included of course! Let’s take a look at why family is so important during the holiday season, and what you can do to document the growth of your own:

• Family is always there for you – The great thing about family is that they’re blood. Friends may come and go, but family is forever.  You may not get to see them every day, so cherish the time you do spend together. You also have the chance to catch up with each other, to talk about what you’re studying in school, a new job opportunity, or even to formally announce an engagement or pregnancy to all your loved ones.
• Family Portraits – Louise Michaud Photographer takes family portraits year ’round. Arguably the most important part of any family portrait is, of course, the family, so get the family together, dress to impress, and don’t forget to smile. Family portraits let you document your lives and the seemingly endless growth of your family. What’s more, you get to show off your beautiful family in their best dressed when you have friends or extended family over to visit. You’ll be sure to get a few compliments about how beautifully your family is growing, especially the kids, and even the family pet(s). Be sure to hang or place the masterpiece somewhere where it will be the center of attention so you can see it every day and remember the importance of family.

If ever there is a time for family, it’s during the holiday season. Gathering family members is what makes the holidays so enjoyable. It’s not everyday you get to see each other, so make lasting memories together. Happy holidays from Louise Michaud Photographer!
