Are your portrait photography ideas more about Facebook than family?

We all do it – snap away with our phone and post our photos on social media sites before downloading them to our laptop. While that’s a great way to keep our friends up to date, are we really capturing memorable family moments that we’ll treasure forever?

We all carry a camera on us in one form or another and thrive on social media’s ability to share our special family moments instantly around the world. There is a tendency to think that because we capture so much more these days, we’ve caught all those special moments and the many changing faces of our family in a cheap and effective way.

But how good are your family photos? Do you find that sometimes they’re missing a key member, namely you because you’re taking the shot, or your youngest is pulling a face, they’re a little too distant, the light’s not right or they just didn’t come out as well as you’d thought they would. Or do you find that you’re so busy taking and checking the shots, you’ve missed the moment? And once you’ve downloaded them, how often do you ever look at them again?
