Every photographer has an ideal client. This client is the one that the photographer loves to work with and the one they know will cherish the family portraits created. So you may wonder who OUR ideal client is, and why they select us for professional photography in the Northern Virginia area, including Broad Run Farms, VA. That might also bring you to this question: Are we, Ever After Portraits, the family photographer for you?

Our ideal client, and also usually our typical client, is:

We usually hear from the mom of the household. She’s our ideal client because she loves and cherishes her family so very, very much. Realizing that time is passing by so quickly, with her children growing so fast, she wants to hold on to precious moments and beautiful memories. She does many things for her family to make their house a home and forge strong family bonds. Her children’s special drawings are joyfully scattered around their home. She holds tight to those she loves, and she’s so much more than simply the glue that holds everything together. As a family, she knows they can face anything together!

She chooses Ever After Portraits because she wants her children to have great and lasting memories of family. She knows that professional photography, especially children photography, can help illustrate her family’s precious love. She plans to adorn the walls of their loving home with her children’s professional portraits, and she has a special space picked out for the perfect family portrait, the one that showcases their personalities and lets the love they feel for each other shine through.

Family Bond

The strong sense of family and the importance of cherishing each and every moment, is usually behind every woman we hear from who is interested in an Ever After portrait! She is our ideal client!
 

 
As a mother and daughter team, we truly love seeing the strength of these family bonds. We are able to capture these bonds in our portraits. We document the essence of each family’s love and unique bonds, whether it’s with a family portrait or children’s photography.

Years from now, our ideal client will look at her family’s Ever After portraits on the walls of her home, and she’ll be thankful she has those portraits to cherish. She will be able to look at them and recall those long-gone years captured in her family’s portraits! In many ways, her memories will live through those portraits.

We love working with our ideal clients! Their love for family brings so much richness to our portrait sessions. It’s a true pleasure to capture each family’s precious moments together.

Our ideal client realizes how important it is to capture the moments today through professional photography that will last for generations. (All of our portraits are printed on museum-quality materials guaranteed to last at least up to 100 years!) If you live anywhere in the Northern Virginia and Broad Run Farms, VA area, we’d love for you to be our next ideal client!

Value of Family Portraits

What is the true value of family portraits – or any portraits for that matter? Ask someone who has lost a loved one. They will tell you that they no longer have the person to touch and hold. Every picture, every portrait they have of their loved one is cherished and is priceless. As a photographer, we know the value of a portrait and just what our portraits can capture: love, family and, in many ways, time. You can’t recapture those moments. Having worked in the Leesburg, VA area for years, we have met so many clients grateful they took the time to do family portraits with us when they had the chance.

Clearly, professional family photos will capture what a snapshot or selfie won’t. And, because it’s printed on archival-paper, it will last for a generation and more. But is there any value for you in investing in professional portraits? While we have a vested interested in people paying for professional portraits, we’d honestly tell you that there is tremendous emotional value in having professional pictures taken.

Lasting Memories

As human beings, we have limited capacity for memories. No matter how good our memories, we can’t possibly remember everything. Photographs serve as memory triggers. Look at a picture taken years ago, and chances are it will take you like a time warp to that moment or day when the photo was taken. Do any of your childhood memories resemble a picture you’ve seen? It’s not unusual. Science has shown that pictures can trigger memory.
 

 
One of the reasons we are professional photographers is because we appreciate the valuable role family photos play in our lives. Professional family portraits depict families today and memories tomorrow. Simply stated: Photographs capture and create memories. How do you put a value on that?!

Just like the ancient oil portraits were painted out of love and reverence for the subject, the fine art portraits of today are tokens of familial love. They are the newer version of those old stately oil portraits which once graced the walls of the elite mansions and families and were handed down through the generations.

The family fine art portraits we take today are as well-thought out as those oil portraits once were. While we might not be around to see an Ever After fine art portrait hanging generations from now, we know that someone’s family will enjoy them one day many years from now. How do we put a value on that?

As a full-service photographer working in the Leesburg, VA area and beyond, we work with each client and their needs and their budgets. We will have an initial talk to see how we can help you best capture your family’s love in one of our portraits. From there, we can help you plan your photo session and, lastly, your product order. There is no pressure, only partnership to work with you how you like. We hope you will reach out to us to discuss your portraits if you haven’t already!
