Are you ready for the holidays? Me neither! My wife and I still have tons of shopping to do and to also get our family portraits taken for our parents, brothers, and sisters. Usually we are ready for Christmas by now, but this year has been a little bit more interesting. Speaking of interesting, here is an interesting fact that I discovered at Starbucks in San Jacinto. I happen to come across this website called Brainyquote.com and read this. I forget who wrote it, but it stated on average, American's gain 7 pounds during the Holiday Season between Thanksgiving and New Years. I don't know about you, but I think I gain that just on Thanksgiving night! Ah yes, 6 hours of cooking and 12 minutes of eating to gain 7 pounds of deliciousness. However, knowing this puts some of us who are seeking portraits in a dilemma. We all want to feel comfortable in front of the camera right? I can tell you, I do! I want to feel comfortable; Feel good, look good and know my images will be artistically enhanced so I can share my greatness! Being comfortable in front of the camera is the single best way to get the best images ever. Natural smiles brings excellent pictures.
However, I had one more thing that crossed my mind when reading that quote above. there's another quote that people tend to realize and that is the camera can add 10 pounds. So if you don't have a professional photographer taking your images during the holiday, you actually gain 17 pounds in front of the camera. Does that make you comfortable. It should because if you know you have a great photographer, you will actually lose 3 pounds if these averages stand true. Because just as a camera can add 10 pounds it can also subtract it.
