For a while now I’ve been interested in the possibility of offering video portraits to my clients and after practicing and surprising a few of my clients (like during this session), I think I’m ready to call myself an Arizona newborn video portrait photographer.
Video is becoming a more and more popular add-on to family portrait sessions, but why? What is the draw? Aren’t pictures enough? In this digital age, capturing moments with our loved ones has become easier than ever. We take countless pictures of our children, documenting their growth and adventures. A video portrait goes beyond a simple snapshot and brings your memories to life in a whole new way.
3 Reasons to Add a Video Portrait to Your Photo Session
1. Capturing What a Picture Can’t
Pictures are wonderful for freezing a single moment in time, but they can’t capture the essence of movement and sound. A video portrait allows you to preserve the genuine laughter of your child, the adorable way a toddler waddles as they learn to walk, and the unique mannerisms that define your child at that age. These little details are what make your child’s personality shine, and a video portrait ensures that these precious moments are forever etched in your heart.
2. Transforming Memories into Shareable Keepsakes
We all have an abundance of videos scattered on our phones, capturing various milestones and candid moments. However, these videos often remain buried and forgotten in the depths of our digital galleries. A video portrait, on the other hand, is a beautifully edited and finished video product. It includes carefully selected clips, music, and even captions if you desire. This means you can easily share it with family and friends, turning it into a cherished keepsake that can be enjoyed together for years to come.
Imagine watching a well-crafted video portrait with your child years later, reminiscing about their childhood adventures, and reliving those heartwarming memories. It is a delightful experience that you’ll want to revisit time and time again.
3. Sharper and More Vivid Memories
While pictures hold incredible power in sparking memories, videos take it to the next level. When you watch a video, it’s like stepping back in time. You can see your child’s facial expressions change, hear their laughter, and witness the twinkle in their eyes as they explore the world around them. These visual and auditory cues make the memories feel more vivid and real, allowing you to relive the emotions and moments that made your heart swell with love and pride.
Incorporating video portraits into your photo sessions gives you a wholesome and comprehensive collection of memories. The combination of pictures and videos offers a deeper connection to the past, ensuring that your child’s journey through childhood is beautifully preserved for you and future generations to treasure.
Add a Video Portrait to Your Photo Session
A video portrait is a wonderful addition to traditional photo sessions, as it captures the essence of movement, sound, and personality that pictures alone cannot convey. These finished video products become shareable keepsakes, bringing joy not only to you but also to your family and friends. Moreover, memories become sharper and more vibrant when complemented by videos, enriching your connection to the past. So, why settle for still images when you can bring your memories to life with video portraits? Embrace this modern approach to preserving cherished moments, and you’ll be grateful for the timeless treasures it creates.
