Just Because-Lifestyle Photography Longview, WA

Posted on April 19, 2010

Sometimes people look for a reason to have their pictures taken: graduating from high school or college, pregnancy, new baby, engagement, anniversary, wedding, etc.  Those are wonderful reasons, however, I think that we need no better reason to have a special professionally done photo shoot than being alive!  Don’t you agree?

Why wait for a special occasion?  Our life is filled with spectacular moments worth celebrating.  Celebrate life!  Celebrate your family!  Celebrate your talents and passions!  Celebrate being you!  These reasons are good enough for me!

This passed weekend I had a very special shoot with a young lady who holds the same view on this–she wanted to get out, have fun, and celebrate her!  I am all up for that.

After having photographed an amazing maternity session in Longview and Woodland WA, I took a few hour break, reloaded, prayed for the rain to stop and headed out to my evening session with Alla.  The rain was coming on and off, but we were able to steal a few gorgeous moments that otherwise would not be possible to create because of it. It made me remember again that behind every cloud there is sunshine :)

longview wa family photographer Well, there you have it–don’t wait to celebrate life!  Alla didn’t and she was happy for it [and so was I].  Now she is planning on deciding which picture she will print life-size to put on her wall.  Which one do you think?

Alla, you are a doll, and a lovely one at that.  There is so much you can do in life, you just have to take a pick and then stick with it.  I am sure you will be successful as long you keep the same smile on your face and sunshine in your your heart.
