American culture may seem obsessed with youth, as a whole. But if you think about your family, there are most likely at least one or two beloved elders well into their seventies, eighties, and nineties. We can’t keep everyone in our family by our side forever. The mysteries of beyond become an answer known to the older folks in our family who move on from this world, while we’re left behind to pay tribute to their memory. When you’re in the throes of grief, putting together a proper celebration of the life of an elderly loved one might be difficult. Wouldn’t it be nice to have gorgeous, professional portraits taken in advance so that you have a visual reminder of the beautiful person you’re saying farewell to?
Breaking the Bad Photo Pattern
We’ve all had those nightmare experiences sitting in a crowded department store photography studio with impatient patrons and photographers, screaming babies, and irritated grandmas and grandpas who think this whole thing is a waste of time. It can be difficult to get an entire family in one place, at the same time, dressed up, and ready to say “cheese.” Many studios are sterile, rushed, and just not the kind of place that makes everyone feel like smiling. When you turn to D-Squared Studios, you can rest assured that we will make you feel pampered and comfortable. We don’t even have to say the “cheese” word if you don’t want us to.
Finding Natural Smiles
There are many different expressions a face can make. Some are organic and warm and represent the way others see a person. Others are posed, fake, and unnatural. Many portraits have that posed, false look because of the uncomfortable experience going on when the photo was taken. Let’s face it, there are great photographers, and then there are those who should have never picked up a camera. Doug Davis knows people, and furthermore, he likes people. He will get to know you, your family, and especially an older relative who may not feel up to a long, drawn out photo shoot. If you want that photo of grandma Ethel, grandpa Marvin, or great aunt Lucy that makes you smile every time you look at it, count on a seasoned professional.
