Aris Affairs Photography, family photographer in Prescott, shares why you should have professional maternity photos

Many pregnant women have recently been hiring professional photographers for a photo session during the last couple of months of pregnancy. Aris Affairs Photography, family photographer in Prescott, explains why it is a good idea to have a professional photographer take your maternity photos.

People have become very creative in the 21st century. When you are getting ready to have your baby, one of the things you should add to your “to do” list is to get maternity photos taken. Here are some reasons why:

• Capture the sense of anticipation. Pregnancy is such an exciting time, but as the years pass, you might forget the thrill of what it felt like to be expecting. Those emotions should be captured! You will be glad you did.
• Freeze that moment in time. With a new baby many changes will be introduced to your life experience. So, since things will never be the same, capture the “right here and now.” It's probably been a while since you had any family photos taken. What an opportunity to get images of life before everything changes - and capture the special times afterwards as well!
• Celebrate. Your pregnancy is a special time. A professional photography session will help you celebrate and make you feel beautiful. Pictures standing sideways and from different angles using different backgrounds will help you to cherish the celebration.
• Reminisce as a couple. How did you two meet each other? As you reminisce about that, some of the best images will be captured. Pregnancy is a time to look back on the wonderful experiences that led you to become a family. Photographs will honor the institution of family whether it is your first or sixth baby.

Aris Affairs Photography, family photographer in Prescott, would love to take your maternity photos. Before the time gets close to your last two months of pregnancy, call Aris Affairs Photography at 928-642-4049 to discuss your photo session.

Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, shares ideas for newborn photos

If there's a newborn in your life right now who seems to be changing before your very eyes, Prescott’s family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, suggests these ideas for perfectly capturing your baby's precious first weeks.

Studio vs Home
Studio sessions are usually done when your baby is only a few weeks old and is very sleepy and very 'mold-able'. Studio sessions focus on shots of your baby looking perfect and beautifully posed in wraps, blankets, headbands and hats.

Sessions that take place at home take a little more casual approach to your infant's photography. While some posing takes place, the greater focus is on capturing more natural shots of your baby and the home.

Shoot in the moment
Capturing your baby's moves, stretches and yawns can be some of the sweetest moments to treasure. Regardless of where the sessions takes place, don't worry about getting endless perfect poses. If you're posing your baby, one thing to keep in mind is to notice their hands. If they're making little fists try to open up their fingers. Sometimes it's a bit of an effort but you'll achieve a more peaceful look with relaxed hands.

Don't forget mom
Moms love their newborn so much that there will be countless photos of the baby sleeping, waking, bathing, snuggling and so on. With cell phones there are sure to be thousands, literally, of photos by the time of baby's first birthday. But, sadly, so few with mommy in them. While cell photos are great there is absolutely no comparison to professional photos. Moms, please make sure you are in some of the pictures. You will treasure these photos forever.

Be patient
Your baby is the boss regardless of where or when the session takes place. If your baby isn't going to fall asleep or stay in one position just keep shooting. Things don't always go as planned but sometimes the very best photos come from those unpredictable, unplanned moments.

There's no time like the present to capture your newborn's earliest moments. Don’t take the chance on capturing this special time that only happens once. Call Aris Affairs Photography today at 928-642-4049 to schedule your session or for more information visit us at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography, your family photographer in Prescott, helps you prepare now for your holiday cards

Have you noticed that Christmas cards have turned into family portraits with a small seasonal greeting? Good or bad, this is the new trend. Yes, it is June, but now is the time to start considering those family photos. With social media, most of us have a way to watch our friends and relatives grow in their lives, but there is something about that photo during the holidays that we look forward to seeing. Aris Affairs Photography, your professional family photographer in Prescott, can help you get that amazing family photo to make your holiday cards sizzle.

The question of the day: Is your holiday card going to make a splash or will it be easily forgotten? Doing the photoshoot yourself can be a daunting task - to gather the pets and kids for a Kodak moment. Does it really do your family justice to make that photo the one your distant relatives and friends look forward to seeing? To help save you from some of the “do-it-yourself” pitfalls, here are some basic tips:

1. Just one is enough. Have you heard the saying, “less is more”? I know it is hard to pick which is the best, but one large picture is much better than a small picture surrounded by many thumbnails.
2. Your family, not your vacation. Remember, you are sending a card to your friends and relatives. They would much rather see your faces than your vacation. Don’t let the Grand Canyon or the ocean become the focus of the photo - they want to see you and your beautiful family.
3. No strangers, please. Please, no random people. This will make your friends and family believe your family has grown.
4. The greeting is the central theme, right? Is the card about you and yours or is it intended to wish your family a wonderful, blessed holiday season? Remember to make the greeting stand out, rather than tiny print that comes across as an afterthought to the showcase of you and yours.
5. Quality. Please spend the extra few bucks on quality paper. It makes all the difference in the world.
6. Be timely. Life is busy, but be on time for the holiday. Maybe sending a New Year’s card is what you would like to do….just be on time.

Don’t let the holiday season creep up on you. If you would like to share your family with others, now is the time for a family portrait. Aris Affairs Photography, your local family photographer in Prescott, can help make those holiday cards the perfect balance of showing off your family, while still being thoughtful. To schedule an appointment, either at our studio or while you’re out on an adventure, please give us a call at 928-642-4049.

Aris Affairs Photography Helps Prescott Business People Avoid Headshot Disasters

A business headshot is a critical component in today’s media world. Remember the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words”? Well that’s true of your business persona. Aris Affairs Photography would like remind you that a snapshot from an iPhone is not the quality you need for your business headshot. So let’s talk about getting business headshots.

A headshot is a component of your business branding and your headshot should reflect the personality of your and your business. Work with the photographer to make sure the background and setting project the message you want your potential customers to have about you as a businessman.

Keeping it simple is also a great idea.  Faddish style clothing can make your picture seem dated before the ink is dry on your new business cards! You may want to stay with solid colors and minimal accessories, since your face should be the star of the headshot.

Choosing the right photographer is a critical part of your headshots. Your buddy’s wife who just bought a camera at Costco is probably not your best bet. It may not cost as much as a professional, but the results will also be less. A professional photographer has a studio, experience, proper lighting and talent to make you look your best. They also have the proper lenses for taking headshots, not a “one size fits all” lens that may or may not make your headshot flattering.

Don’t let price be your only consideration. Make sure you have the right person to do your headshots. Make it an investment in you and your business and chose a professional photographer who can help you with poses and provide you with a quality product.

For professional headshots in the Prescott area, contact Aris Affairs Photography at 928-642-4049 to make an appointment for your new headshots.

Aris Affairs Explains Why you shouldn't choose the cheapest wedding photographer for your Prescott Wedding

So your sister got married last year and they had a family member take their pictures because he only charged them $200. Unfortunately, there wasn’t  a single picture of the wedding that doesn’t look like just a snapshot. She can’t even look at even one of the most special days in her life without regret of not having captured it with professional photography. Aris Affairs Photography, your professional wedding photographer in Prescott, understands that your wedding day is a once in a lifetime affair and you want everything to be perfect, including your photographs.

One of the biggest mistake a bride can make is not doing their research when looking for the right wedding photographer. So many brides try to save a few dollars by hiring friends, or family to take their wedding photos. Many brides have tried it and been disappointed. Think of a professional wedding photography as an investment in your future joy. The cost to have a professional wedding photographer is really one of your lesser expenses (it will cost a lot less than the food you serve at your wedding), but it will pay off in great dividends, as you enjoy the memories for the rest of your life.

Professional photographers pride themselves on their equipment and generally they have the most reliable gear available and they are familiar with their equipment. Hobbyist or weekend photographers who dabble in wedding photography on the side can’t justify the cost of professional equipment, reliable backup, and proper business insurance. And then consider experience – take enough photos and anyone can show you a few good images, but can they do that day in and day out? Do they have the experience to deliver high quality images on a consistent basis? Probably not, or else – they would be running a real business. And one last point, when you hire a Professional Photographer, they are indeed putting their reputation and their livelihood on the line. You have trust, you have references, and you have a proven track record.

With wedding photography in Prescott and elsewhere, you generally get what you pay for. The less you spend, the more disappointment you risk. A friend or family member who happens to be a photography hobbyist will have much different results than a dedicated wedding professional. Ask yourself: ‘Am I willing to look at my wedding photos for the rest of my life and feel let down?’ Let Aris Affairs make your wedding pictures something you will cherish for a lifetime. We love turning Life into Art. Just call us at 928-642-4049 and let’s discuss how to take the worry out of your wedding photography.
