Family pictures in Botanical Gardens 300x192 Gift membership to Norfolk Botanical Gardens

 Family portraits are something most people only think about doing when its almost too late.  I’ve heard every excuse there is.  Heck, I’ve used those same excuses myself on occasion.

 Have you ever used any of these excuses yourself?

  • I think I’ll wait until I loose 20 pounds
  • my kids needs to get their braces off
  • my husband hates being photographed
  • my child is not good with having their pictures taken
  • maybe when the weather gets better
  • we’re too busy to take the time
  • I’ll wait until Christmas and use them for gifts

 Yes, I’ve heard it all and from my 20+ years doing this and being a mother and wife myself I can tell you from personal experience that there is not time like the present. So may things can happen and you’ll look around one day and say “where did the time go?”  Now, I’m old and gray and I don’t want my children to remember me this way.”

 There really are no excuses –family is important to you, we know that and in years to come they will be so glad you took the time to get everyone together to have a beautiful portrait made of the entire family.

 Trust the experts to help you choose the right clothing to help everyone look their best (slimmest, youngest, and coolest).  Choosing the right colors can also help create a true work of art for your home that blends well in your décor. Let them help you decide on the perfect location and time of day to gather for the session.  Take advantage of the beautiful weather we have now but if you have to reschedule due to weather – that’s okay too.  It’ll be worth the time and effort you set aside to make this happen for your family.  Your children will look back on this as a memorable and fun time.  And you’ll look at the portrait with love and admiration for those in the image for many years to come.

 One of our favorite places for family portraits is Norfolk Botanical Gardens.  The gardens usually charge a fee to allow you to use the grounds for your portraits but we have a special deal for you that you’re going to love.  With your paid session fee to Cathy Benton Photography for a family portrait session (to be done at Norfolk Botanical Gardens) you will receive a one years family membership to the gardens as our gift to you.  There are so many fun things for the kids to do there.  It’s also a wonderfully peaceful place to go just for a walk.  I personally find the plants and flowers that I want to have in my yard and find out the name of them (with the identifying markers around them).  By seeing the area (shady or sunny) I can know what will work best in my yard. It simply is a nice place to spend time and your portraits will be so beautiful in this surrounding.

 Don’t wait any longer.  This is important!  Have that family portrait session done now.  I’ve heard so many horror stories about people waiting too late and really regretting not having done one.  Our experts can help guide you through the process.  It will be relatively painless but well worth your time, effort and investment.

 Call us today (757-484-1777) for information on how you can have that priceless family portrait made and receive your gift membership to Norfolk Botanical Gardens as well.

 Or contact Cathy via email (cathy@cathybenton.com)  Don’t wait any longer.  Remember, It’s Later Than You Think!
