The Beauty of Personality Portraits: What they are and why you need them

Your kids grow up in a blink of an eye.

It’s true what they say - your kids grow up in a blink of an eye…but I’m sure you already know that because you’re experiencing it. There is no way to slow time or to pause it. As a Family Photographer in Raleigh, NC who is frequently photographing little ones, I’ve learned we need to embrace the present to fully soak in the beauty it brings.  

As moms we’re all so busy! Between keeping up the never-ending laundry, changing all of the diapers, and opening up a million snacks in addition to working a full-time job, life is busy! It’s also so beautiful! You never want to forget how your little one squints her left eye a little more than her right when she smiles so big. Or how your little boy has the most adorable little smirk where the right corner of his smile is ever so slightly higher. Or how your baby sticks out her tongue when she gets excited! There’s so many details we want to hold on to forever and this is why Personality Portraits in Raleigh, NC are so important. They allow you to forever hold on to the perfect way your child is in this season. Even more so than that though is the benefits Personality Portraits have on your children when they look at a photo of themself.

You may be thinking, “Awesome. I’m convinced I need them. Now what are Personality Portraits?” The answer is simple. Personality Portraits are photos of just your little one in front of a white backdrop without any distractions. That’s it! All the focus and attention in the photo is just on your little one. Personality Portraits in Raleigh, NC are intentionally simple because simplicity holds sacred space for your little one to be themselves! Which is exactly what we want!

Here are five benefits your little one will gain from Personality Portraits:

01. Instills confidence in children

When they see their unique qualities, especially when they’re printed and placed on the walls of your home, it increases their sense of value and worth! Their identity is validated when they’re looking at a self portrait. When children see themselves represented in a positive light and in a visually-appealing way where they’re captured beautifully, they gain confidence in their identity.

02. Builds self-esteem

When your child looks at it, they see themselves in a new light. They see their qualities and characteristics, which makes them beautifully unique by highlighting their unique qualities and personality traits. Ultimately, they see themself as we see them.

03. Encourages self expression

The simplicity of personality portraits gives them space to express themselves creatively, however they feel led to do it! There’s no one holding them and there’s not a sibling interacting with them. There is a space held just for them to get to be exactly who they are meant to be.

04. Celebrates children’s individuality

Through the simplicity of a Personality Portrait, it allows your child to embrace who they are. It becomes a celebration of how they’re created with unique characteristics. Through Personality Portraits, your little one will see that they are beautifully and wonderfully made.

05. Save your favorite little details

Do you ever look at your little one and think about how you never want to forget a small little detail that your favorite? The way the say “cheese!” or their perfectly bouncy curls? There isn’t a better way than capturing those details in personality portraits.
