This one is written just for the guys!

So guys, let’s talk for a minute. Have you ever heard your wife say, “I don’t like people taking photos of me”, or have you ever told someone, “Ya know, my wife just doesn’t really like getting pictures done. She likes being behind the camera”. Let me let you in on a little secret…IT’S NOT TRUE! Seriously! Take it from a guy who heard and has said both of those things before. The TRUTH is, she just doesn’t like BAD photos being taken of her. That love of your life and wonderful caretaker of your children WANTS to be in the photos, she just wants to have good ones to look at as well.
Deep down, the woman in your life truly wants to be the one in the photos.
Let’s shoot straight for a minute. When Mother’s Day, your anniversary, or her birthday comes around, what is it that you usually get her? Sometimes I don’t even know what to get her! Can I get an amen? Or maybe we do remember last minute that we still need to get our wife a gift! We’ve all been there, am I right?
By a show of hands, how many of your wives are always snapping photos? (kudos to you if you actually raised your hand, but I can’t see it. If you want though, you can send me a picture of your hand to info@kincannonphotography.com) They are ALWAYS taking pictures, right? She loves doing it though because memories are incredibly important to her. But imagine her having to look back and not see any photos that include her! Devastating to say the least! Trust me, I’ve witnessed those moments and I’m sure you have too. Not pretty.
The women often end up as the ones documenting the memories. They take the photos, they create the scrapbooks, and make sure that their children have pictures to look back on, but often end up on the sidelines unless they take a selfie. Women absolutely love the tangible reminders of special memories and captivating moments because they know that time marches on and a moment in time only lasts for that…a moment, right?
This time, why not get the woman in your life a gift that lasts a whole lot longer than perfume or that fake jewelry that’s about to go out of style? She’ll tag that thing so fast on Facebook, and talk about how awesome of a gift you got her. You’ll be the hero! Plus, all of her friends will be hitting their significant others and saying things like, “how come you’re not more like her man!” Feels good to be that guy, doesn’t it.
It’s a gift she’ll never expect. Even if you hate taking photos, book a session just for her and the kids. Or, if she’s close to her sister, maybe set one up for them. Or, if you really want to score some points, set one up for her and your mother-in-law, or father-in-law, or both! Or, just suck it up and jump in man. After all, they give birth and I’m sure a photo is less painful than that, right? I know you could probably imagine her saying that exact same thing to you now, couldn’t you. :)
She will never expect it and will absolutely fall in love with those special moments you helped create for her.
She’ll get fabulous photos of herself and people she loves, she gets a break from having to be the one with the camera, AND you will be the amazing, sweet man who gave it all to her. This is a win-win-win situation! Paint an S on your chest my friend, because you just became the hero :)
