Why Should You Invest in Professional Photography?

Branson, MO Photographer

I just finished reading the best-selling book “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin.  It’s fabulous…full of little gems about how to make sure you’re getting the most out of life.  As soon as I had read the passage below, I knew I’d be sharing it on the blog. :-)

“I’ve never forgotten an older friend’s observation: ‘One of my regrets about my children’s childhoods is that I didn’t have more professional photos taken.’  As luck would have it, I know a terrific photographer.  I arranged to have pictures taken of our children, and I was thrilled with the results.  These photographs were far better than any snapshot I could take, and I bought several for us and for the grandparents, too.  Remembering happy times gives a big boost to happiness, and looking at photographs of happy times helps make those memories more vivid.  The money I spent on the photographs will strengthen family bonds, enhance happy memories, and capture fleeting moments of childhood.  That’s a pretty good return on the happiness investment.”
