Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We at Michael Carr Photography wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We as photographers are often times behind the camera and we seem to struggle getting all three of us together and in front of the camera for a Family Portrait. During our family vacation this year, we decided to hire someone to take our photos together, and a few photos of Bella playing in the snow. We are so thankful we have these moments together and enjoyed taking these portraits to document our family trip. Every time we look at these images with Bella, she tells us: “This was from our vacation in Utah! I loved the snow and us being together!” We enjoy looking at the images together and remembering our fun vacation. Printed portraits and printed photographs are able to move you emotionally in ways that a digital jpg cannot.

Looking ahead into 2017 we challenge you to ask yourself two things: 1) When the last time was that you had a family portrait, or a portrait of your child/children. If you cannot remember the last time you had a professional portrait taken of your family, then it is time. Make time in 2017 to exist in your portraits and document your family and your children before they are grown and it’s too late. 2) When was the last time you actually printed your photos? Technology is rapidly changing. Soon usb sticks and DVDs will be obsolete. A print is archival and digital is not. Do not let your family and your legacy be non-existent in your photos. Printed photos are a tangible way we journal our lives and those that matter to us.
