We've all been there: you snag a stunning photo from a recent event, and the urge to share it with the world on social media is irresistible. But before you hit "post," hold your finger right there! Taking a moment to tag your photographer isn't just good manners, it's crucial for both ethical and legal reasons.

Sharing the Spotlight: Imagine the countless hours your photographer spent crafting that perfect shot – the lighting, the angles, the storytelling through the lens. Giving them credit on social media is a simple way to acknowledge their creativity and hard work. It's like giving a shoutout to a friend who threw you an amazing party!

Copyright Matters: Photographers own the copyrights to their images, just like writers own their words. Sharing a photo without crediting the owner constitutes copyright infringement, which can have legal consequences. So, tag your photographer to avoid any unnecessary drama or legal trouble.

Beware the Imposter Syndrome: Unfortunately, the online world also harbors scammers who steal photos to build fake websites and attract unsuspecting clients. They pose as legitimate photographers, accept deposits, then vanish, leaving victims empty-handed and heartbroken. By consistently tagging @laruebowersphotography on Facebook and @laruebowersphoto on Instagram, you help verify the authenticity of their work and protect others from falling prey to such scams.

More Than Just a Tag: Tagging @laruebowersphotography isn't just about avoiding trouble; it's about building a community. You're connecting with other clients who appreciate their artistry, contributing to their portfolio's online visibility, and potentially sparking new collaborations. Plus, who knows, your appreciation might even land you featured on their page next!

So, the next time you're sharing a photo captured by LaRueBoweRs Photography, remember: a quick tag goes a long way. It shows respect, protects intellectual property, and fosters a vibrant online community where everyone benefits. Now go forth and tag – your photographer and fellow photo enthusiasts will thank you for it!

We all know the feeling: you snap a picture-perfect moment, a child's infectious grin, a family gathered in laughter, and it tugs at your heartstrings. But those images often get buried in the depths of your phone or computer, rarely seeing the light of day. At LaRueBoweRs Photography, we believe these precious moments deserve more! Let's turn those digital gems into tangible treasures you can cherish for years to come.

Imagine the delight on your grandparents' faces when they receive a beautiful canvas print showcasing their smiling grandchildren. Or picture the joy of your long-distance loved ones receiving a heartwarming photo album filled with shared memories. Physical photo gifts have a unique ability to bridge the gap and keep families feeling close, even when miles apart.

But where do you start? Don't trust your precious images to the impersonal service and questionable quality of big-box stores like Target, CVS, and Walgreens. At LaRueBoweRs Photography, we offer a personalized experience and use only the best vendors in the industry, ensuring the highest quality prints and the fastest delivery times. We're passionate about helping you turn your digital memories into keepsakes that will be treasured for generations.

Ditch the Phone, Elevate Your Image: Why LaRueBoweRs Photography Has the Untouchable Edge

We've all been there. Standing in a breathtaking landscape, a magical moment unfolding, and... our phone camera is the only witness. Yes, smartphones have taken the world of capturing memories by storm, but let's be honest: can a fleeting tap on your screen truly compete with the artistry and expertise of a professional photographer?

The answer, dear friends, is a resounding no. Here's why LaRueBoweRs Photography is the key to unlocking images that transcend the limitations of your mobile screen:

1. Mastery of Light and Shadow: Professional photographers are artists of light. They understand how to harness its magic, sculpt it around your subject, and create images that sing with depth and emotion. Phone cameras? Not so much. They often struggle with harsh contrasts, washed-out highlights, and muddy shadows, leaving your precious moments looking flat and lifeless.

2. Unleashing the Power of Lenses: Zooming in on your phone might feel like magic, but it's a mere trick compared to the versatility of professional lenses. LBP’s arsenal unlocks a world of possibilities: telephoto lenses that compress landscapes, wide-angles that capture vast panoramas, and macro lenses that reveal hidden worlds in a single dewdrop. Your phone camera is stuck in one fixed view, while professional photographers paint with light and perspective, crafting images that tell stories beyond the frame.

3. The Art of Seeing, Not Just Clicking: A professional photographer isn't just holding a camera; they're holding a vision. They have an eye for the extraordinary in the ordinary, the ability to see the perfect angle, the fleeting gesture that tells a thousand stories. They don't just capture moments; they create them, using their expertise to guide you, pose you, and orchestrate a symphony of light and emotion.

4. Beyond the Snap: Post-Production Magic: The journey of a photograph doesn't end with a click. Professional photographers are masters of post-processing, the digital darkroom where images are sculpted into their final form. They wield the tools of color correction, sharpening, and artistic effects to bring out the hidden beauty in every shot, ensuring your images are polished and ready to impress.

5. An Investment in Memories: Let's face it, phone pictures are fleeting. They get lost in the digital abyss, forgotten in endless camera rolls. A professional photoshoot, however, is an investment in memories that last a lifetime. LaRueBoweRs Photography delivers tangible keepsakes – stunning prints, elegant albums, or even captivating digital galleries – that become heirlooms, passed down through generations, whispering stories of the moments that mattered most.

So, ditch the phone, and embrace the art. Call SaRah at 857-400-8749 today and let LaRueBoweRs Photography elevate your image to new heights. Discover the magic that only a skilled photographer and their arsenal of expertise can unlock. Invest in memories that transcend the screen, and let your story be told in the language of light and shadow.

Remember, you deserve more than just a phone snap. You deserve LaRueBoweRs Photography.

The surrounding grounds, with their rolling hills and babbling brooks, are perfect for a romantic couples shoot or a whimsical family portrait session.

• Saxonville Mills: This abandoned textile mill complex has been transformed into a haven for artists and photographers. The industrial ruins, with their exposed brick walls and graffiti art, create a unique and edgy backdrop for any type of photoshoot.

• Callahan State Park: This 1,400-acre park offers stunning views of the Sudbury River and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure. It's the perfect spot for a nature-loving family or a couple who wants to capture the beauty of the outdoors.

In an unfortunate turn of events, several LBP families have experienced a sudden loss recently. My heart breaks for each of you and I’m sending warm hugs to your families. These recent losses - and some of the conversations I’ve had with these families - got me thinking about the power of photography in our lives. I dedicate this post to those families.

Life, as they say, is fleeting. One moment you're giggling with your children in the backyard, the next you're staring at a calendar, years having slipped by like grains of sand through your fingers. It's a sobering truth, one that often hits hardest when we lose a loved one. In the quiet hush of their absence, we grasp at memories, searching for solace in the whispers of the past. And sometimes, it's a photograph, a frozen slice of time, that becomes the most precious thing we have left.

These are the moments, big and small, that deserve to be captured. The messy-faced birthday cake grins, the whispered secrets between sisters, the shared laugh lines etched around grandfather's eyes. Photographs aren't just images; they're threads woven into the tapestry of our family legacy, telling the story of who we are, where we come from, and who we love.

For our immediate family, photos are a love letter. They're reminders of whispered promises, stolen kisses, and the comforting weight of little hands in ours. They showcase the evolution of our children, the changing faces of our partners, and the bonds that weather even the fiercest storms.

But family extends beyond the walls of our homes. It's the boisterous aunts and uncles, the mischievous cousins, the wise grandparents holding court at the head of the table. Capturing these connections is a gift we give not just to ourselves, but to generations to come. Imagine your great-grandchildren peering at a faded photograph, their eyes lighting up with the love etched on your great-aunt's face, a connection forged decades before their breath touched the world. These photos become bridges across time, connecting past, present, and future.

That's why at LaRueBoweRs Photography, we approach every family session with more than just a camera and a smile. We understand the weight of the memories we're helping you create. We see the whispers of stories within your laughter, the unspoken love in your shared glances. We strive to capture not just faces, but the very essence of your family's spirit.

So, the next time you gather your loved ones, don't hesitate to pull out the camera, or better yet, let LaRueBoweRs Photography capture your special moments so that you can be part of the memories. We’ll capture the cake-smeared cheeks, the impromptu dance parties, the quiet moments of shared connection. These are the moments that matter, the moments that will weave the tapestry of your family's story. Trust LaRueBoweRs Photography to help you frame them, not just in pixels, but in the heart of your legacy.

Let's celebrate life, love, and family, before it becomes a memory. Let's create photographs that not only warm our hearts today, but illuminate the lives of those yet to come.

Because ultimately, that's what family is all about: a love story that transcends time, woven through generations, captured in the beauty of a single frame.

Contact LaRueBoweRs Photography today and let's start writing your family's next chapter, together.

Why Photographers Are So Expensive (and Why LaRueBoweRs Photography Is Worth Every Penny)

Photography is an art form. It takes years of training and practice to become a skilled photographer. Professional photographers invest a lot of time and money into their craft, and they deserve to be compensated fairly for their work.

Here are some of the reasons why photographers are so expensive:

• Cost of equipment: Professional photographers use high-quality cameras, lenses, and other equipment. This equipment can be very expensive, and photographers need to recoup their investment.
• Cost of education: Professional photographers often have to invest in education and training. This can include taking classes, workshops, and apprenticeships.
• Cost of time: Professional photographers spend a lot of time on their work. They need to research, plan, shoot, edit, and deliver photos. This can be a time-consuming process, and photographers need to be compensated for their time.
• Cost of overhead: Professional photographers have overhead costs, such as rent, insurance, and marketing. These costs need to be covered in order for the photographer to stay in business.

In addition to these factors, professional photographers also need to make a profit in order to support themselves and their families.

So, why is LaRueBoweRs Photography worth every penny?

• LaRueBoweRs Photography is owned by an experienced and talented photographer. I have a passion for photography and am committed to providing you with the best possible service.

The Golden Hour: Why You Should Trust Your Photographer for Session Times

The golden hour is a magical time of day for photography. The sun is low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over everything. This light is perfect for portraits, landscapes, and any other type of photography.

The golden hour typically lasts for about an hour, just before sunrise and just after sunset. The exact time of the golden hour varies depending on your location and the time of year.

If you're planning a photo shoot, it's important to schedule your session during the golden hour. The light will be much more flattering than it is during the middle of the day, and your photos will be more beautiful as a result.

Of course, you can't always control the time of day for your photo shoot. But if you can, it's definitely worth scheduling your session during the golden hour - it will always be the first suggestion by LBP.

In addition to the beautiful light, there are a few other reasons why you should trust LBP for session times.

First, we have experience working with the golden hour light. We know how to position you and your family to get the best possible results.

Second, we make sure we know about the location of your photo shoot. We take into account the sun's position and the surrounding landscape to create stunning photos.

Finally, we have your best interests at heart. We want you to be happy with your photos, and will work with you to find the perfect time of day for your session.

So if you're planning a photo shoot, don't be afraid to trust us for session times. We have the experience and background to help create beautiful photos that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Here are some additional tips for getting the most out of your golden hour photo shoot:

• Choose a location with interesting features. The golden hour light can really highlight the beauty of nature, so choose a location with trees, mountains, or water.
• Dress in light colors. The golden hour light can be very flattering on light colors, so avoid wearing dark clothing.
• Be patient. The golden hour light is fleeting but we'll capture the magic for your session! 

With a little planning and preparation, you can create stunning golden hour photos that will capture the beauty of the moment.

The Importance of the Grown-Ups Getting in the Picture with Their Kids

As parents, we all want to capture the special moments in our children's lives. We want to have pictures to look back on when they're older and remember all the fun times we had together. But sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to getting in the picture.

We worry about how we look. We think we're too fat, too skinny, too old, too tired. We tell ourselves we'll wait until we lose weight or get in better shape before we start taking pictures.

But the truth is, we don't need to wait. Our children don't care about how we look. They just want to be with us. They want to see our faces and our smiles. They want to remember the love we have for them.

So put away your insecurities and get in the picture! Don't wait until it's too late. Your children will thank you for it.

Here are a few reminders for parents who are worried about waiting until they lose weight before getting in the picture:

• Your children will not remember how you looked in the pictures. They will remember the love and happiness they felt in the moment.
• Your weight does not define your worth as a parent. You are loved and cherished by your children no matter what size you are.
• Taking pictures is a great way to track your progress on your weight loss journey. It will be motivating to see how much you've changed over time.
• Don't let your insecurities hold you back from capturing the memories of your children's childhood. They will cherish these pictures for a lifetime.

So go ahead and get in the picture! Your children will love you for it.

Here are some tips for parents who want to get in the picture without feeling self-conscious:

• Take candid pictures. Don't try to pose or look perfect. Just let the moment happen naturally.
• Focus on your children. Look at them and smile. They will be so happy to see you in the picture.
• Schedule with LaRueBoweRs Photography - we'll make you feel comfortable while having fun during your session.

The most important thing is to just get in the picture! Your children will love you for it, and you'll be glad you did.
