How To Exist In Photographs

When was the last time you had your picture taken by a professional photographer? Was it when you graduated from high school or at your wedding? Will you exist in photographs?

Where Did the Term #existinphotographs Originate?

Actually, the term #existinphotographs was coined by a well-known professional photographer who teaches photography for women, Sue Bryce. It was in 2015. But the idea is still applicable today. The purpose of that campaign was for photographers to create timeless photographs of women that would be cherished for years. Portrait photography isn't about drawing attention to yourself or being vain, but about having lasting images to share with those you love. Photographers should be providing their clients with a unique experience that captures beautiful images.

It's time for you to #existinphotographs! "Exist in photographs for your children, for yourself and for the people who love you." - Sue Bryce

Why and How Should You Exist in Photographs?

Will your children have photos to look back on? Not if they exist on your phone! Those photos will most likely never get printed!

Here is an example of a session we did with Jodie. She's a beautiful, fun-loving, enthusiastic lady. It is hard to believe she is a grandmother! She came to the studio with two full totes of a variety of clothes, scarves, shoes and hats. (It's always better to have more than you think you will need.) Before arriving, she went to Stylistic Hair Design in West Branch, MI and had her hair and makeup done. Here is her picture before she went for her hair and makeup:

We had so much fun making images. She has a beautiful natural smile! She was game for just about anything! We even tried light painting! And now she has some nice images to keep or share with those who are special to her. Jodie will exist in photographs!
